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. She did reveal on her IG story that her favourite album title idea is actually one of her fans' ideas, "and I absolutely love it" she said.
And in a recent interview when asked if she had settled on the album title she said, "perhaps, perhaps, perhaps".

What songs are on Perrie Edward's first solo album?
The songs we know so far are:
- 'Forget About Us'
- 'Tears'
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 were described by attendees as one "really sad big ballad" and two "upbeat dancey songs".
According to NME it includes everything from 'Motowny' moments to 'guitar-led ballads' and tracks with 'Mariah Carey vibes', we think they must have been talking about her second single 'Tears'.
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.”
In her interview with Zach Sang she revealed she's written 50 songs but only 12-14 will make it onto the album, however there will be more on the deluxe.
She also revealed she's written a song about a friendship break up which is so sad it makes her cry. Other rumoured songs on the album are called: 'Miss You', 'Rocket Scientist', 'Put You First' and 'Me Myself and You'.
