songwriter and the model, who dated for 10 months in 2011, rekindled their romance again in 2015, reported Digital Spy.


"It is a bit of a heartbreak album. There are a lot of songs about that relationship, but they're all coming in at different angles. Some of them are a lot more positive, while others are sad. But I guess a lot of it is heartache, but that's where I've been over the last few months," King said.

However, the songstress said being single has helped her to pen the lyrics to her latest release and other songs because her writing is more fluid when it is based on her personal experiences.

I've been single and it gives you that time to reflect on relationships you've had in the past. I've really learnt through doing this that I'm so much better at writing songs that are about actual things I'm going through, rather than trying to write a scenario that has never happened to me.
