Since Little Mix went on hiatus in 2022, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have been working on solo music, with Leigh-Anne being the first to make the leap in 2023.
Now, Perrie is up next after she officially announced her debut solo single 'Forget About Us' is coming on the 12th of April.
Last year the 30-year-old signed to Columbia Records, who also have Harry Styles and Beyoncé on their books, and her album's complete already, filled with songs Perrie's mostly written or co-written – a factor which she ended up surprising herself with after originally insisting she didn't want to write music.

When is Perrie Edwards releasing solo music?
On the 26th of March, Perrie confirmed that her debut solo single 'Forget About Us' will drop on the 12th of April 2024.
She posted her album art just one week earlier, before teasing a sample of the song and finally posting an image of her posting in boots and a glamourously frayed two-piece on top of a boulder, with the caption reading, "'Forget About Us’ coming 12.04."
After her exclusive meet-up with her fans, Perrie HQ posted a pic of them all together with the caption: "Who did we spend Galentine’s Day with this year? You guys. We can’t wait to share more experiences and exciting stuff with all of you, near and far. Thank you everyone for being a part of it already."
Who has Perrie worked with on her new music?
Perrie’s worked with some pretty big names in the music industry as she gears up for her solo career, including long-term Little Mix writer Kamille, producer of the moment Fred Again and songwriting legend Steve Mac.
Her first solo single 'Forget About Us' was co-written alongside Ed Sheeran. You may recall that initially, Ed had written his smash hit 'Shape Of You' for Little Mix to perform before he ended up keeping it for his own discography.
The album apparently also features a collaboration with RAYE, after the six-time BRIT Award winner came over to Perrie's home studio to write a song called '2-2', a song Perrie says she's 'really proud of' and is about her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Perrie told NME of working with the 'Worth It' singer: "She came over and it was just the best day. Every time I see her win an award or anything happens to her, I am so happy because she just deserves to win – she’s the nicest, most genuine person, but her talent is ridiculous. Like, she opens her mouth and I’m just in awe of her."
What is Perrie Edwards’ album called?
Details about the name of Perrie’s first solo album remain under wraps but it looks like we'll know pretty soon.
We’ll update this page with more news about Perrie’s solo venture as and when she shares more.
What songs are on Perrie Edward's first solo album?
At Perrie's exclusive listening party for some of her fans which she held in London, she played them three brand-new songs. The three tracks have been described by attendees as one "really sad big ballad" and two "upbeat dancey songs".
According to NME if includes everything from 'Motowny' moments to 'guitar-led ballads' and tracks with 'Mariah Carey vibes'.
Perrie said to the magazine: "What I wanted to make sure of was that every song [from] a different genre had a sister or sibling on the album, so it’s not completely mismatched. It makes sense when you listen to it as a body of work.”
