Zayn Malik's Steamy New Song “Love Like This” Will Make Your Heart Race
View Date:2024-12-24 04:23:42
Zayn Malik is here to make some midnight memories.
After all, the singer, who performs under the mononym Zayn, dropped new music when the clock struck midnight on July 21. Titled "Love Like This," the high-energy song is Zayn's first solo single in over two years.
"I guess that's love like this / Usually, I never wanna jump like this," he sings in the chorus of the track. "But I think I wanna dump my chips 'cause / I cannot go back."
In the accompanying music video, Zayn—clad in a Zadig & Voltaire look—was seen zooming around a motorcycle before sharing many passionate kisses with actress Grace Dumdaw, who had a little fun teasing the role prior to the visuals' release.
"I'm so sorry guys I had to kiss him," Grace commented under a behind-the-scenes montage of the music video shoot shared to Zayn's Instagram July 20. "It's literally my job."
Nonetheless, many fans were envious of their gig. "I've never wanted to be someone so badly in my entire life," one Instagram user wrote in the comment section, while another added, "HOW LUCKY SHE IS?"
Zayn's new single comes amid his return to the public spotlight. Recently, the former One Direction singer sat down for his first interview in years.
"I feel like we were so overexposed in the band," Zayn, who left the boy band in 2015 before pursuing a solo career, shared during the July 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. "That's why I took the time that I have to, like, not even necessarily do interviews."
As for why he left 1D in the first place? "There was a lot of—look I don't want to go into too much detail, but there was a lot of politics going on," the 30-year-old revealed to host Alex Cooper. "Certain people were doing certain things, certain people didn't want to sign contracts, so I knew something was happening, so I just got ahead of the curve. I was like, ‘I'm just going to get out of here. I think this is done.'"
And though he considers himself to be a "passive" person, Zayn admitted he's a bit more aggressive when it comes to his music career.
"I'm serious about it and I'm competitive, so I wanted to be the first to go and do my own thing," he explained. "That was the reason—and then there was obviously underlying issues, like within our friendships too."
