'I don't have people to hide behind': Perrie Edwards fells 'more confident' without Little Mix bandmates
Pop star Perrie Edwards has declared she's "way more confident" without Little Mix because she used her bandmates as a "comfort blanket" before launching herself as a solo artist.
Perrie Edwards feels "way more confident" without Little Mix.
The 30-year-old pop star has become the latest member of the group to launch a solo career since the band went on hiatus back in 2022 and Perrie insists branching out on her own has given her a major confidence boost because she's having work without having the other singers as a "comfort blanket".
She told Numero Netherlands magazine: "'I'm just way more confident now I suppose, because I don't have people to hide behind.
"I was used to having the girls as my comfort blanket, whereas now I have to step up. I have to push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than I've ever done before."
Perrie launched her first solo single 'Forget About Us' in April and it will be followed by 'Tears' on June 21 and she's admitted every song on her upcoming album features very personal lyrics including words about her footballer fiance Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and their son Axl.
She added to the publication: "I took inspiration from everywhere in my life. I took inspiration from my relationship with Alex, my son Axel, past friendships, relationships.
"How being in love makes you feel, my anxiety, literally everything that I kind of feel I've been through I've put into a song on the album."
Little Mix announced their hiatus back in 2021 with the trio confirming they would step back after completing their Confetti Tour in April 2022.
Since then, Leigh-Anne Pinnock has been releasing solo music while Jade Thirlwall recently shared pictures from the studio suggesting she's hard at work on her own material.
