Hold on to your hats Directioners! Zayn Malik’s first solo single is finally here and it is accompanied by a smoking hot video.
Pillowtalk is Zayn’s first offering since
leaving One Direction in March 2015 and it is clear he has gone in a very different musical direction.
leaving One Direction in March 2015 and it is clear he has gone in a very different musical direction.
The steamy video sees Zayn sporting bleached blond hair and getting cosy with his rumoured girlfriend Gigi Hadid, while the X-rated language and suggestive imagery mark a clear difference from his previous singles with One Direction.
At one point blood pours out of his and Gigi’s eyes like tears and the explicit lyrics detail the story of a tumultuous couple: “It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone.”
Earlier this week, Zayn showed off this sexy shirtless picture to announce the release date of his first single.
He also told Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show that he did not feel at home musically in One Direction and never really wanted to be there.
“I just gave it a go because it was there at the time. I think I kinda always wanted to go. From the first year, I never really wanted to be there in the band,” he said.

“When I realised the direction that we were going in, mind the pun, with the music, I instantly realised it wasn’t for me. How do you write a song from five people’s perspective?
Hours before his single dropped online he tweeted this funny painting of him preparing to unveil a work of art.
