Your support makes all the difference.As fans await his debut solo album, Zayn Malik has caused another spike in anticipation by dropping an upbeat new track called "Like I Would".
Over an electro-R&B beat reminiscent of The Weeknd, the former One Direction singer squares up to a male romantic rival whose bedroom technique is apparently somewhat lacking.
"He won't touch you like I do," Zayn sings. "He don't know your body, he don't do you right."
Cannily, 'Like I Would' is available now as a free download to fans who pre-order the longer 'Deluxe' edition of the album. Titled Mind of Mine, it's set for release on 26 March.
Malik has recently announced the album's track-listing and with it outlined his commitment to using capital letters in an unconventional way. The album's song titles are stylised as 'lUcOzAdE', 'dRuNk' and 'rEaR vIeW'.
After reaching number one in the UK, his debut solo single 'Pillowtalk' also topped the charts in the US - a feat his former group never managed. He then shared a second, more subdued track from the album called "It's You" before now dropping "Like I Would" as its third teaser.
