Zayn Malik’s Music Comeback is Here: ‘Love Like This’ Release Date
The former One Direction member kicks off his new musical phase on July 21
When Zayn Malik decided to leave One Direction and after a few months of work, he released «Pillowtalk,» it seemed evident that the solo artist was going to dominate the sales charts for as long as he wanted. Seven years later, the truth is that his solo career has been marked by ups and downs, and he hopes to put an end to that rollercoaster ride with his new musical phase.
The artist has signed with a new record label (Mercury Records) and is very close to releasing his fourth studio album. But before that happens, the first calling card that opens a new era for the former 1D will see the light: «Love Like This.»
He has confirmed this through his official social media profiles, even announcing a release date for this song, with which he hopes to reach the top of the Billboard charts once again, just like he did with his debut. On July 21, we will be able to enjoy this single, which will end nearly two years of solo musical silence since «Nobody is Listening» (2021).
Usually, I never want to jump like this
But I think I want to risk it all
because I cannot go back
I guess there’s faith like this
Give you everything and you can skate like this
But I think I have to take that risk
because I cannot go back
And I’m loving what you say, what you say
what you say when you’re on my line»Zayn Malik shares 'Love Like This' on Instagram
With this new phase, the English artist seeks to regain his position as the international reference he once was, not only with the popular British boy band he shared with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne but also with his solo debut, «Pillowtalk,» among other hits.
It has been eight years since One Direction took a break that has extended to this day. The group seems unlikely to reunite, but their memory remains intact. Millions of people still know their songs by heart, and nostalgia surfaces whenever we see some of the members refer to the boy band. The latest to do so has been Zayn Malik, and even his bandmates have commented on it, but for now, there is still no sign of a possible reunion, even if it were exclusive and unique.
