The former One Direction singer Zayn Malik released the single and video for “Pillowtalk”.
It’s the first single from his debut solo album “Mind of mine”, which is expected to be released on March 25th.
The video stars his girlfriend, model Gigi Hadid and see the couple navigate a kaleidoscopic paradise and war zone, where they make out, make up and cry black tears.
In an interview with Sunday Times Culture magazine earlier this week, Zayn described “Pillowtalk” as “so pure, so dirty and raw” adding that he’s not glazing over its explicitly sexual theme. “I think I’m pretty black and white about what it’s about” he said. “Everybody has sex, and it’s something people wanna hear about. It’s part of everybody’s life, a very big part of life! And you don’t wanna sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about”.

Lyrics:

Climb on board
We’ll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow

I’m seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, ‘body but me, ‘body but us
Bodies together
I’d love to hold you close, tonight and always
I’d love to wake up next to you
I’d love to hold you close, tonight and always
I’d love to wake up next to you

So we’ll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone

Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we’re free, it’s a thriller

I’m seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, ‘body but me, ‘body but us
Bodies together
I’d love to hold you close, tonight and always
I’d love to wake up next to you

So we’ll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone

Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone

So we’ll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone
