After Little Mix released its new single "Shout Out to My Ex," fans began to speculate if the lyrics might be about Perrie Edwards' ex-boyfriend, former One Direction singer Zayn Malik. The pair was engaged from 2013 to 2015. Lyrics include, ?I hope she gettin? better sex / Hope she ain?t fakin? it like I did, babe." and "Oh baby I?m cool by the way / Ain?t sure I loved you anyway.? Perrie and Malik met in 2012 while both competing on the UK's "X Factor." Since they broke up, Malik has been dating model Gigi Hadid.
