Perrie has released her eagerly awaited debut solo single ‘Forget About Us’. It’s a poptastic, catchy gem that will have you singing along from the first listen and then be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Perrie says about ‘Forget About Us’ in a press release: “I look back on past relationships and think happily about those times. Do I want to be there now? No. It didn’t work out that way and if it was supposed to be it would have happened. Relationships have been a huge part of my life and they’ve made me who I am now. I think it’s a nice sentiment to be honest about and it’s super relatable.”
Her new track was co-written by Perrie, Ed Sheeran, and Steve Solomon. Previously, Perrie shied away from songwriting in Little Mix as she didn’t have confidence in her abilities, but through working on her upcoming debut album, her extensive songwriting contributions surprised even her. Going into sessions as a solo artist now and being able to say what I want and I feel is just the most amazing experience. I never had the confidence to do that before, but this process has allowed me to believe in myself and explore all my different emotions and different parts of my life.”
Most of Perrie’s upcoming album was recorded in the place she feels most content and safe: her house. Her fiance, Alex, converted the unused dining room of their home into a recording studio for her. “All of the content that I’ve done documenting the album has been made at home too—all the fans are commenting like, ‘Does she ever leave the house?’”
“I’m so proud of what I’ve done and created. I wanted it to be fun above anything else and showcase my singing through ballads and big vocal numbers,” she says, with her sights now set on taking her music out in front of the world and performing live with a band. “Having people singing your songs back to you is the best natural high in the world. I’m just so excited to see how fans react to my music now.”
