What has Perrie Edwards said about her solo music?

Taking to Instagram in November 2023, Perrie revealed: "I've met some incredible writers, incredible producers; people I've never worked with before. It's been really fun, I've loved it.

"It's been a very different process to being in the band. I think it's brought me out of my shell a lot; I used to use [Jade and Leigh-Anne] as my comfort blanket in the studio.

"It's quite intimidating, writing with amazing writers and producers in the room. If you have an idea, you're like 'what about this?' But then you feel a bit silly. I've had to come out of my shell. Going into the process, I sat down with my label and said 'I don't know if I want to write that much, I don't know if I'm a very good writer. I've always been with the girls."

On her newfound love of songwriting, Perrie continued: "As the process went on and I started pushing myself more, I realised that I actually love to write music. That was a surprise to me.

"It's been nice to be [at my home studio], gaining the confidence to write my own music.

"Trust me, I'm desperate to give you music - but I just want to perfect it and make sure it's 100 per cent what I want to release and what I want you to hear.

"I'm cooking away, getting it all ready and I can't wait to share it with you."
