She said: ‘I think with that the single, I think we didn’t want to push it back because we just wanted the world to hear it so that’s why we’ve released it now, because we love it so much and I feel like it’s such a good upbeat positive uplifting song.
‘That’s just what people need right now, but with the album, I think we are going to have to postpone it yeah.’

Talking about their cancelled music video in Brazil, she continued: ‘Yeah well that was supposed to be our second single, the music video that we were going to do out in Brazil.
‘But obviously when the whole Corona thing first happened, they were stopping people from travelling, so the girls would’ve been in Brazil for such a long time, and then tried to fly back they would’ve had to been quarantined and stuff.’
Earlier this month, the group flew out to Brazil for a concert with Perrie forced to pull out due to illness.
Positive: She said: ‘I think with that the single, I think we didn’t want to push it back because we just wanted the world to hear it so that’s why we’ve released it now, because we love it so much and I feel like it’s such a good upbeat positive uplifting song.’

She added during the radio interview: ‘They shortened the trip. Obviously I couldn’t go to Brazil because I was poorly at the time.
‘So they put the trip down short before that anyway, and then when it was just the gig, they just said it was probably worth not you not going.’
It comes after Perrie shared an insight to what it’s like being housebound with her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain.
The Little Mix star, 26, playfully said that living with her beau at the moment is like being with a child after they have been given ‘Coca-Cola and sweets’.

Perrie joked that Alex has lots of extra energy and said: ‘It’s like giving a child have Coca Cola and a whole bag of sweets and putting them in a room and keeping them in there. He’s got so much energy!’
However generally she admitted things have been running smoothly, adding: ‘Actually really well, not too bad. We’re just trying to stay positive and keep ourselves busy and I’ve just been doing loads of stuff like knitting, a bit of baking, random stuff I never normally have time for.’

Perrie and Alex kept their followers entertained earlier this week by sharing a Tik Tok video of the two of them dancing on their kitchen stairs.
Discussing how she learned the steps to the viral video, Perrie said: ‘It took me a good while. Alex learned straight away because he’s annoyingly good at everything, so he got it straight away and I just kept getting it wrong.
‘He’s really good at stuff like that, but I kept getting scared on the stairs, like if I fell and broke an ankle. But it was really fun when we got it, it was brilliant.’
