Perrie Edwards has lived many lives - from global pop stardom with Little Mix to navigating heartbreak and motherhood in the public eye. But now, she’s stepping into something new: a solo career that’s deeply personal and entirely her own. In this conversation, Perrie opens up about the pressure of going solo after years of success with one of the biggest girl groups in the world, the heartbreak behind her first solo single 'Forget About Us', and how becoming a mother shifted everything. She talks honestly about her decade-long relationship with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the quiet grief of pregnancy loss, and the challenge of carving out her own space away from the spotlight. With her debut solo album set to launch and another baby on the way, Perrie is stepping into a whole new chapter both personally and professionally. This is a conversation about what happens when you stop trying to please everyone else and finally make something just for you.
