Zayn Malik's solo debut single "Pillowtalk" is here. The former One Direction member shares the track following his lengthy interview with Zane Lowe that aired earlier today on Beats 1.
Speaking about his new single with The Sunday Times, Malik described his new material as "dirty and raw." "Everybody has sex, and it’s something people want to hear about. It’s part of everybody’s life, a very big part of life! And you don’t want to sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about."
In the ballad, Zayn goes from crush-worthy lines like, "I love to wake up next to you," to really turning up the heat by referencing certain bedroom activities. In the chorus, he refers to the shared bed as "a paradise and a war zone." The sexy video to accompany the provocative song stars Gigi Hadid in a series of steamy scenes. Gigi and Zayn have never officially stated that they're dating, but we'll take this video along with their intimate Instagram from December of last year as a sign that they're both off the market. Okay, Zayn, we see you.
