What was Perrie Edwards' experience on The X Factor at a young age?
I need to be careful how I say this. I'm just going to say it.
You know, you sang about writers when you have friend breakups.
When the other person doesn't take any accountability. That boils my blood. I'm not saying she's this fucking monster, but take some accountability for your actions.
Do you think you will rekindle the friendship ever?
Um, if I'm being completely transparent. Hey, I'm Perrie and I'm in great company. It's great!
Sing it. When you go through heartbreak, it is hellish. It's the worst thing in the world.
And then what makes it even worse is I feel like the world was then looking at me, laughing at me.
Wow.
I felt embarrassed. I felt horrified. It was awful.
How do you stay sane through that?
I didn't. You don't? I had a minty beauty. I had like serious breakdowns. I did.
You also went through a miscarriage.
We were about 24 weeks when we lost our baby, but we'd named him. And I think having to give birth to a child that you can't take home.
Oh, Perry.
I'm sorry.
This is awful.
Hello guys, it's Jamie and Sophie from the Newly Parents podcast here.
Coming up on this week's episode, you were in the house by yourself. You started to rock Ziggy to sleep. What happened? I was rocking him, bouncing him on this ball and I was closing my eyes. And I just looked down at him, but I convinced myself it was an old man staring back at me. I was alone in our house and I was rocking an old man to sleep. It wasn't Ziggy. Listen or watch wherever you get your podcasts. Guys, just before we start, I want to let you know that this episode contains discussions about miscarriage and baby loss. Now please take care whilst listening or watching. If you or someone you know is affected by this, please know that support is available.

What do you think? You like it? Okay, I promise you, right? Okay. It's unbelievable.
Oh! It reminds me of kind of like, it's like Avril Lavigne, like a rock poppy. It's insane. Oh, yay! That makes me really happy.
Thank you.
When you make that, when you do a song like that, do you know in your head, like, this feels good?
What emotional challenges did Perrie face after her miscarriages?
This feels exciting.
Yeah, I think so, yeah. And I got that feeling with this song. And I wrote it with Nina Nesbitt, and we just have such a laugh together. Like, we're taking the mic, like, the lyrics, I don't want to take out the bins. We were like, can we open a song with this as the first line? Or is it a bit random? It's a bit out there, isn't it? And then My Patience is on Manjaro. Like, My Patience is wearing thin. Like, I haven't got time for this shit. So that's kind of like, we were just bantering and it ended up being a thing. And now I just love it.
How do you find a solo career since being in a band for so long and then becoming solo? That's a big shift.
It is a big shift. I think I've struggled the most with that shift.
Explain to me why.
I think it's like a double-edged sword. I keep saying because you come out when you're a new artist and you're not established yet right and you're trying to figure out your sound figure out who you are as an artist it's an art at the end of the day so you kind of you have to try everything before you know and before it sticks like look at Sabrina Carpenter she's been around for years but only now it's like starting to pop off and people are listening and it's like but she's been great for ages but it just takes one thing to stick does that make sense totally 100% and you can work around like behind the scenes do your thing when you come from
