Perrie Edwards Alters Solo Single Release Schedule
Perrie Edwards has made a significant adjustment to her solo music plans, moving the release date of her upcoming single Woman In Love forward by several days. The decision comes as her former Little Mix bandmate, Jesy Nelson, prepares to release a documentary that promises to reveal the truth behind her exit from the popular girl group.
Release Date Shift to Avoid Clash
Originally scheduled for February 13th, Perrie Edwards' new single will now debut on February 9th at 5 PM UK time. The change was announced via the fan account Perrie HQ on X, with a post stating: "Surprise! ‘Woman In Love’ now dropping on Monday, 9th Feb at 5pm UK time!" This adjustment appears strategically timed to avoid overlapping with the premiere of Jesy Nelson's documentary, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, which is set to stream on Amazon Prime on February 13th.
Fans quickly speculated about the reasoning behind the date change, with many suggesting Perrie wanted to prevent her music release from competing with Jesy's highly anticipated documentary. Several supporters commented that she "didn't need to change the date," implying the move was specifically designed to sidestep potential conflicts and media attention surrounding Jesy's project.
Jesy Nelson's Documentary Aims to Set Record Straight
Jesy Nelson's documentary primarily focuses on her journey through pregnancy with twin daughters, but it also provides a platform for her to address longstanding questions about her departure from Little Mix. At a recent screening event in London, Jesy emphasized her desire to correct what she described as "false narratives" surrounding her exit from the group.
"I go into the reason why I left Little Mix, which I've never, ever spoken about," Jesy explained. "There's been a constant narrative that's been written about me - I believe it gave a false narrative of why I left. This was my turn to say this is my truth, and this is why I left." She expressed hope that the documentary would finally "put to bed" the speculation and allow her to move forward without carrying "that weight for a really long time."
Reflections on Little Mix Legacy
Despite addressing the difficult circumstances of her departure, Jesy Nelson reflected positively on her time with Little Mix, describing the bond between members as foundational to their success. "When I got to reflect on all the amazing times I had in Little Mix, and even the footage you see of Little Mix that no one's ever seen before, you just see how beautiful our friendship was," she shared. "We really were best friends."
Little Mix was formed in 2011 after Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock auditioned individually for The X Factor, eventually being grouped together and winning the competition. Jesy left the band in 2020, citing mental health reasons, while the remaining three members continued as a trio until 2022. Since her exit, there has been persistent speculation about potential rifts between Jesy and her former bandmates, though none have been officially confirmed.
The Mirror has reached out to Perrie Edwards' spokesperson for comment regarding the release date change and its connection to Jesy Nelson's documentary. As both former bandmates navigate their post-Little Mix careers, this scheduling adjustment highlights the ongoing public interest in their individual paths and the shared history that continues to shape their professional decisions.
