Confetti

Confetti

Confetti are small pieces or streamers of paper, mylar or metallic material, usually thrown at celebrations, especially parades and weddings. The origins are from the Latin confectum, with confetti the plural of Italian confetto, a small sweet. Modern paper confetti trace back to symbolic rituals of tossing grains and sweets during special occasions, traditional for numerous cultures throughout history as an ancient custom dating back to pagan times, but adapted from sweets and grains to paper through the centuries.

Confetti (Little Mix album)

Confetti is the sixth studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 6 November 2020 by RCA and Columbia Records. It was largely recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, which interfered with the promotion plan for the album. Jesy Nelson announced her departure from the group in December 2020, a month after the album's release. Confetti is their first to be released under RCA Records, following their departure from Syco Music. Confetti is a pop and R&B record that lyrically addresses themes of self-acceptance, self-worth, freedom, and independence.
