Little Mix have sexed up their third album.
The girl group's upcoming LP 'Get Weird' is packed with raunchy songs that discuss bedding boys and some tracks had to be censored to take out the explicit lyrics before they made the final cut.
Perrie Edwards admits one song in particular left her dad embarrassed.
She said: "'A.D.I.D.A.S' is the most shocking one I think. It stands for 'All Day I Dream About Sex With You', but it's a 'shush' now.
"Literally when my dad heard it he was like, 'No, girls turn it off.' I said, 'Dad I'm sorry we are going to change it, it's just a demo.' "
The girls' next single from the record was influenced by Motown but Jesy Nelson says originally the lines in it were "naughty" and had to be altered.
Speaking to The Daily Star newspaper, Jesy Neslon, 24, said: "'Love Me Like You' was originally 'F**K Me Like You', because that's what the song is about. But we had to censor it because it was too naughty!
"So we changed it to love me. I mean imagine us singing that? The only person who can get away with that is Rihanna!"
Meanwhile, designer Stella McCartney has agreed to dress band and Leigh-Anne Pinnock thinks with their new look and more mature album, the group - which also contains Jade Thirlwall - will gain older fans.
She added: "I feel 'Love Me Like You' is going to gain us a slightly older audience, it's all our friends' favourite song. We've never done something like it before.
"But we like challenging ourselves and to keep it fresh."
'Get Weird' is out November 6 through Syco Music.

Sam Smith is "s****ing" himself over the release of his Bond song.
The Grammy and BRIT Award winner will unveil his eagerly anticipated anthem 'The Writing's on the Wall' today (25.09.15) - which will serve as the main soundtrack for new movie 'SPECTRE' - and he admits the pressure to meet the high standard of previous Bond themes is "quite intense".
He said: "I'm sh****ing myself. With this song I don't care about it charting and things like that. I just care about doing the legacy proud.
"The pressure to deliver a Bond song that stands against all the rest feels quite intense."
The 23-year-old star's "top secret" Bond song has only been heard by a select few, including 'SPECTRE' director Sam Mendes, close friends and family, and of course, 007 star Daniel Craig.
Sam says filmmaker Mendes even had a hand in writing the lyrics to ensure the famous spy didn't come across too vulnerable.
He explained to The Sun newspaper: "I feel like my music can be very vulnerable and I wanted to have a touch of that with Bond and have him sounding more vulnerable than normal.
"With Bond songs you get to be as dramatic as you want. I got to get away with unbelievable string and brass sections -- I got to be a drama queen.
"Sam had a say in some of the lyrics I was writing and made sure Bond didn't sound weak, that he still sounded powerful."

New Order's Bernard Sumner says ex-bassist Peter Hook has "left a bad taste" in his mouth due to the way he left the band.
The 'Bizarre Love Triangle' hitmakers are set to release their first new studio album in 10 years when 'Music Complete' on Friday (25.09.15) and their first without Hook, who left the band acrimoniously in 2007.
Sumner think's it must be "boring" for their fans constantly hearing Hook's hateful comments towards the band, but he feels bad for him that he can't move on.
The frontman explained: "It's a real shame. My heart bleeds for him. He left the band, and then he complained about leaving the band. But I wish him good luck and that he gets on with what he's chosen to do instead of calling me all sorts of names. He's so angry. If you choose to take a path in life, don't blame other people for the path you've chosen to take ... It must be getting a bit boring for people. He did leave a bad taste in my mouth."
Despite their fallout, Sumner still respects Hook and the great albums they made together in New Order and before in Joy Division - the band that became New Order following the death of frontman Ian Curtis.
The singer - who is still joined in the band by drummer Stephen Morris - told Rolling Stone magazine: "I think we made some great records with Peter. I would never diss what he's done as a musician. But we couldn't get on together, so he's gone off to do his thing and it's his choice."
Morris agrees with Sumner and admits he hates it when band members criticise each other in public.
He added: "I really don't like it when members of bands sl*g each other off in the press. If you've got a problem, you should sort it out without going public. It's not very pretty, is it?"

James Morrison, 5 Seconds of Summer and Laura Mvula are among stars performing at 'One Big Night for BBC Children in Need'.
The evening will be hosted by Sir Tom Jones who said he is pleased to have the artists on the show as they will each bring something individual to the evening of live music and comedy.
In a statement, Tom said: "I am delighted that 5 Seconds of Summer, Dame Evelyn, Laura, James and The Shires are going to be joining us on October 8 for what is set to be a night of great music and fantastic comedy. All of them will bring something very different to the show, so I know people attending on the night will be in for a very special treat."
While the 'She Looks So Perfect' rockers are "really excited" to be coming to London specially from Australia.
They commented: "We are really excited to be coming to London to perform at 'One Big Night for BBC Children in Need,' it is going to be a great show, and all for a great cause. We look forward to seeing you all there!"
And 'Broken Strings' hitmaker James is "thrilled" to be supporting the show in aid of disadvantaged children.
He said of joining the line-up: "BBC Children in Need is a fantastic cause and I am thrilled to be taking part in what is set to be a great evening amongst some amazing acts. Sir Tom and Rob are pulling together something really special, so I look forward to seeing you all there."
The concert will be aired on BBC One on November 13.

Olly Alexander is in love.
The Years & Years frontman couldn't help but gush about his budding romance with Clean Bandit's Neil Amin-Smith, admitting the response to the news of their relationship has been incredibly "heartwarming".
He said: "I found someone that I love and that's a new thing and that has its own world. And then it exists in this world where we're both conscious about being open about it.
"The response has been incredibly touching and heartwarming and overwhelming, but I feel like if you invest too much of yourself in the construction of yourself as a gay couple in the media you end up f*****g up the real thing, so I try not to think too much about it."
And the 'King' hitmaker is thrilled to be a gay role model for younger fans.
Speaking to the tenth anniversary of GQ Style magazine, he added: "When I meet gay kids and they know who we are, I remember that's amazing because literally every gay person in every gay story I knew growing up was doomed to die. There weren't any positive gay stories and it's incredible that has changed."

Jennifer Lopez has "a lot of work to do" on her Las Vegas residency.
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker is set to bring her show to the Axis theatre stage in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January but admits she is still "conceptually moulding" her performance to make sure it will be perfect.
She shared: "We have a lot of work to do. It is conceptually moulding the show and figuring out what that is going to be.
"Putting all the pieces together and seeing what we are going to do new, and what we are going to keep from other shows I've done and capturing the energy I bring to the stage."
The 46-year-old beauty is also preparing to shoot a music video for her duet with Jason Derulo and teased the possibility of shirtlessness - but insists it won't be from her.
She told Extra: "He will be shirtless, I'm sure. I'm not sure what I'm going to be, but I won't be shirtless, that's for sure."
Meanwhile, Jennifer cannot wait to launch the "glamourous and beautiful" show, something she has been preparing for her entire life.
She said: "It is going to be glamorous and beautiful and the costumes and all of it. The production is something that I haven't gotten to do yet. So it's going to be me in my element doing what I do at the highest level and it's exciting.
"I'm excited about it. You know, I feel like I've been preparing for this my whole life."

Zayn Malik is making music with 'The X Factor' singer Aiden Grimshaw.
The 22-year-old former One Direction heartthrob and the talent show hopeful, 23, met on the 2010 series and now Zayn has turned to his old pal for inspiration and the pair will hit the studio together soon.
A source said: "They used to be close mates but hadn't spoken for years. When Zayn signed his solo deal with RCA they started messaging each other and decided to get into a studio."
Despite being offered a helping hand on his solo material by 'Body on Me' crooner Chris Brown and rapper 50 Cent, Zayn - who's been spending time in Los Angeles since quitting 1D - has chosen a lesser known face and but a firm friend for his new songs.
Aiden's representative told The Sun newspaper: "We can confirm Aiden and Zayn have been in touch with a view to doing some writing or working on a track."
And whilst Zayn was putting time in the studio with British producer Naughty Boy - who has just released new single 'Runnin' (Lose It All)' with Beyoncé - the pair fell out after the singer's old band mate Louis Tomlinson and Naughty Boy got in a Twitter spat.

Ariana Grande's new album will be her "most personal yet" but won't feature songs about her ex-boyfriend Big Sean.
The 22-year-old singer split from the rapper, 27, in April after eight months of dating but has admitted her forthcoming collection 'Moonlight' won't include breakup anthems because she has moved on from the heartache.
Speaking to V magazine, she said: "You know, people found out quite [about the split] a while after it actually happened. By the time I was writing the new album, I had kind of moved on. It's not going to be captured on the album too much. I'm in a happy place. There aren't any breakup anthems because I had moved on. I was like, alright. Well, f**k it."
Since the split, the brunette beauty - who is releasing her upcoming single 'Focus' later this month - says she's felt "more empowered, grown-up, and independent."
She added: "I think that's part of the reason I didn't want to make a p****d-off break-up song. I was not focused on that.
"Everything is nice and great right now...why would I write about some bulls**t? I'd rather write about some really lovely things that are going on."
