"Little Mix have denied claims that they are just a manufactured pop group. The band addressed accusations that they have no control of the creative direction of their music and do not write their own songs.  Perrie Edwards told Entertainmentwise: &amp;quot;Fair enough some people may do that, but we are definitely not about that. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve had so much leeway with what we&amp;#039;ve wanted to do. Our label and management have let us have so much control, because we know what we want and we know who we are, we know what we want to write about. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so frustrating when people say that we don&amp;#039;t write our own music. Where did &amp;#039;Wings&amp;#039; come from? &amp;#039;Mama told me not to waste my life?&amp;#039; Who wrote that? We stay stuff like that in interviews and we believe in that. It&amp;#039;s baffling. We write our own stuff!&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;What I don&amp;#039;t understand is that because you are from the X Factor, that you dont write your own music? &amp;quot;How does that work? You go on [The X Factor] because you are an artist and you want to sing and make music. So why would you go all that way and get to the end of the [competition] and not write any music?&amp;quot;  Jade Thirlwall added: &amp;quot;We get the the whole thing about us being manufactured... every band is put together! Just because we were put together on a show doesn&amp;#039;t mean that other bands weren&amp;#039;t put together as well. &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t matter where you&amp;#039;re from or what show you&amp;#039;ve come from - I think talent is talent at the end of the day. If you write an amazing album that is all that should matter really.&amp;quot; Little Mix will release their second album Salute on November 11.
