"Black Magic" was scheduled to premiere on 26 May, but was later moved forward to 21 May, after the single leaked online the day before. The single's cover features the group in front of red school lockers with the group's logo featured above the group in a yellow colour and the title of the song below in white. On, Little Mix revealed that the song was titled "Black Magic", after the single's cover art surfaced on music identification service Shazam. However, the tweet was deleted shortly after it was posted. The song's title was accidentally revealed by member Leigh-Anne Pinnock's mother on Twitter on 21 April 2015 when she tweeted "#MixersAreExcitedForBlackMagic yesss mixers it's the new single and it's fantastic". Album delays were attributed to the fact that Little Mix's original output was scrapped because they thought "they could do better". They described the song as "a risk" and said that it is completely different from what they have done before. In February 2015, Little Mix revealed that they had chosen the lead single from their third studio album and also said that it has a "whole new sound" compared to previous material. The group said that the new album would be "stronger" and "better" than their two previous albums, DNA (2012) and Salute (2013).

On 4 July 2014, Little Mix announced that they would cancel the US leg of their second concert tour, The Salute Tour, to focus on recording their third album.

Jade Thirlwall talking to Digital Spy about the song. We wanted to change the game a bit, and 'Black Magic' is very pop." The Salute campaign was a lot darker and a bit more R&B that's why it took so long because we were looking for something that would surprise people. "We always like to do something that people wouldn't expect us to come out with. The song was nominated for Choice Love Song at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards, and for British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year at the 2016 Brit Awards.
