Although Little Mix are currently on a hiatus, we've already been blessed with solo music from Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards, and now Jade Thirlwall has announced her debut single is on the way very soon.

Following the success of Pez's first track 'Forget About Us', it didn't take her long to release her second, in the form of a song called 'Tears', and by the looks of it, her two-year-old son Axel is a huge fan.

Taking to her Instagram Story to share a cute video, Axel can be seen finishing the lyrics whilst Perrie sings her new track. She captioned the cute video with 'for everyone asking, yes tears is axel approved'. (sic)

It sounds like Perrie's son Axel has played a big part in her upcoming new album, with the 30-year-old telling KISS Breakfast's Jordan and Perri that there's a song which features his heartbeat.

She said: "There's a song on my album that the beat of the song is my little boy’s like heartbeat, like when we went to the scan.

"It was so cool, I remember being in that moment and hearing like the (sound) and I thought, no, that's unreal, that could be a song. And then fast forward to like a year and a bit in, and I was like, yeah, I'm going to do it."

The singer also shared the most adorable video of Axel during a family holiday alongside her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain last week, turning up the boombox when his mum's song was playing.
