The 23-year-old was dumped last summer and Edwards and her bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall have recorded songs about their individual heartbreak for their forthcoming LP, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I think it’s always easier to write about your experiences through music because more people can relate to them anyway,” Nelson told The Sun newspaper.

“It is a lot more mature, this album. There’s a lot of things that have been said that perhaps nobody has heard yet, if you know what I mean,” she added.

But it won’t be an album of doom and gloom, as they group insisted their upcoming fourth studio record is “very positive”.
