As a member of Little Mix, Edwards contributed to six number-one UK albums and numerous global hits, blending pop, R&B, and dance influences until the group's hiatus in 2022 following Jesy Nelson's departure in 2020.
Raised by her divorced parents, singer Debbie Duffie and Alexander Edwards, Perrie has an older brother named Jonnie and a half-sister, Caitlin.

Her self-titled debut album, Perrie, was released on September 26, 2025, showcasing a mix of emotional pop anthems and upbeat tracks. Personally, she welcomed a son, Axel, with footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in August 2021, and the couple got engaged in 2022. Edwards has been recognized on the Sunday Times Rich List and advocates for mental health awareness, drawing from her own experiences with anxiety.
