Little Mix fans convinced that new song Sweet Melody is swipe at Zayn Malik
Little Mix fans have taken to social media convinced that new single Sweet Melody is about Perrie Edwards' ex, former One Direction star Zayn Malik
Fans of Little Mix are convinced their latest single Sweet Melody is about Perrie Edwards' ex Zayn Malik.
The new track appears on the girl's sixth studio album Confetti and has been co-produced by MNEK and co-written by Tayla Parx.
In Sweet Melody, the girls sing: "He was in a band, full of songs about me // Every time we go dancing, I see his straying eyes// Gave him too many chances…
"He would lie, he would cheat, over syncopated beats // I was just his tiny dancer, he had control of my feet // There was no song in the world to sing along".
Perrie had dated former One Direction singer Zayn Malik for four years from 2011 to 2015.
They were also engaged from August 2013 until their split two years later.
Fans had previously suggested he was the inspiration for the hit 2016 single Shout Out to My Ex.
Zayn is now with supermodel Gigi Hadid with whom he shares a newborn child, while Perrie is in a relationship with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
However, others were convinced the song was about Jesy Nelson's former fiancé Jake Roche, frontman of band Brixton and son of Loose Women star Coleen Nolan.
The pair had begun dating in 2014 and were engaged from July 2015 until their split in November 2016.
Then again, others suggested it was about Jade Thirlwall's ex, The Struts band member Jed Elliot.
Jade dated Jed from 2016 until their break-up in July 2019.
Naturally, the debate regarding the origins of the song's lyrics has caused a stir on social media after the release of the fiery video featuring the girls.
One Little Mix fanatic commented on Twitter : "Damn this new little mix album is gonna be fire. sweet melody is another banger. It also sounds like it’s about zayn again. Look at the lyrics. Fits pretty well if u ask me."
Another follower of the band penned: OMG OMG OMG OMG SWEET MELODY BY LITTLE MIX THAT JUST GOT OUT IS ABOUT ZAYN".
Meanwhile, a different fan of the girls opined: "Sweet Melody is either for Zayn or Jed,, periodt HAHAHAHAHA"
Elsewhere, one posed the theory: "not me thinking sweet melody is nother song about zayn bc they were talking about a man in a band but then i remember jade’s ex, jed is also in a band omg??!"
Finally, one fan of Little Mix questioned: "now is sweet melody about zayn or jed or jake"
Sweet Melody is out now while album Confetti is released on November 6, 2020.
