Little Mix have released their new music video for Strip.
The girl group shared their highly anticipated video, taken from their fifth album LM5, on Friday.
The quartet co-directed the video with renowned director and photographer Rankin and invited ordinary women to star in the video beside them.
Their idea was to strip the bands look right back and show the beautiful features in a move that has been praised by fans.
A pleased fan tweeted: The #Strip music video is really inspirational and its meaning is so powerful for people (like me) who arent confident at all about their bodies. So thanks @LittleMix
Another called the group role models, writing: Strip is such an important song and video. sexiest when im confident.
