Perrie Edwards loves One Direction's new song.

The Little Mix singer, who recently split from ex-1D star Zayn Malik, says her favourite song of the summer is the four-piece's latest release, 'Drag Me Down'.

The track is the band's first single without Perrie's former fiancé Zayn and was released just a week ago.

Perrie told Radio Disney: ''I like One Direction's new song 'Drag Me Down'. It's incredible.''

The comments come as the 22-year-old continues to get over the end of her three-year relationship with Zayn, who has since signed a solo record deal with RCA Records.

It was recently reported that the heartthrob broke up with the 'Black Magic' singer two weeks ago by text message.

A source said: ''It's unbelievable, he's an immature little boy with no thought for anyone else's feelings. Perrie is one of the sweetest girls in the world and she's stood by him through thick and thin.

''But he ended their engagement with one text message and in the two weeks since there's been complete radio silence between them. Who does that? She's devastated, which everyone understands, but is doing her best to focus on work and to put on a brave face in public.''
