Ed Sheeran has written Perrie Edwards’ debut solo single.
The 33-year-old singer/ songwriter has teamed up with the 30-year-old Little Mix star to work on her solo music and she has chosen one of his songs for her first release.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column that Ed was so confident about the track, he told Perrie: “This is your first single.”
Perrie made some minor changes to the lyrics before recording the song and filming the video in Cape Town last month.
The song is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
It was previously revealed that Perrie was working with Ed on her debut album.
A source told The Sun on Sunday’s Bizarre column: “Perrie is taking her time with her debut solo record and she wants to get it just right.
“She really respects Ed and loves his music, so has been keen to collaborate with him on ideas.”
Perrie is signed to Columbia Records and previously shared how happy she is to be able to take her time on her new music, with no pressure from her label.
She told Grazia: “My label have told me to just go with the flow and enjoy discovering what my sound is going to be, the fact there’s no deadline in my life just makes me the happiest person. I feel so lucky to just be having fun.”
Perrie has been in the studio with Little Mix collaborator Kamille, alongside producer Fred Again and song writing legend Steve Mac.
Kamille previously told OfficialCharts.com: “They’re just so early in their discovery of what they want to do.
“There’s so many things that they’re interested in, I couldn’t pinpoint it to one thing. The best thing right now is that we’re having fun discovering. Hearing their voices on stuff you wouldn’t typically hear it on is just sending me. It’s so, so exciting for me. Can you imagine, as someone who’s used to just one thing with them? I couldn’t even pinpoint it, but just know it’s going to blow everyone’s minds.”
