It made its surprise debut online this morning
The first solo material by former One Direction star Zayn Malik has made its debut online! Take a listen below.
A collaboration with super producer and ‘La La La’ hitmaker Naughty Boy – real name Shahid Khan - the three minute demo is titled ‘I Won’t Mind’ and it made its debut on Soundcloud this morning.
An acoustic led and emotionally charged gem, the gorgeous song hinges on Zayn’s moving vocals before a beat kicks in right at the end.
Zayn’s lyrics include: "When someone makes you the happiest person and the saddest person, at the same time, that's when it's real. That's when it's worth something."
Cast your cochleas on the song right here:
Hinting at a 2016 release date, the accompanying caption says: "There is nothing but love for what was left behind. That's why we don't mind. ;) #zaughty #zinabad #2016.”
Naughty Boy unleashed the song at 3am this morning shortly after he got into a war of words with Zayn’s former band mate Louis Tomlinson on Twitter.
Louis took exception after Naughty Boy retweeted a fan account called Naughty Boy/Zayn, which teased the track with a brief video clip and the caption “The Truth.”
An angry Louis wrote: “Wow @NaughtyBoyMusic you're so inconsiderate pal , seriously how f***ing old are you ? Grow up ! #masterofallwisdom.”
After exchanging some more verbal blows, Naughty Boy added: “when ur gettin hate for some thing u didn't do, a bit of love can go a long way, that's why I retweeted, time will tell the real story guys.”
Then just over an hour later, he shared the demo causing an explosion of excitement from fans!
