Well, there you have it.
The deeper meaning behind the hit
During a December 2016 interview withE!
News, Perrie Edwards explained the inspiration behind the song, and she didn’t name any names.

Instead, she explained that Little Mix created the track to help women feel better after tough breakups.
“We just thought, ‘You know what?
Women need to feel empowered,'” she said.

In 2019, Edwards toldNotion Magazinethat Oxlade-Chamberlain is “perfection.”
She shared, “It’s just a lovely balanced healthy relationship, and I love it.
It’s a breath of fresh air.”
