'whispered between lovers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'newest hit song remixed' is the wordplay.
'remixed' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'newest'+'hit'+'song'='newesthitsong'
'newesthitsong' is an anagram of 'SWEET NOTHINGS'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweet nothings that I've seen before include "Loving words" , "words of love" , "I would love to say these" , "Lovers' words?" , "Amorous burble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
