Zayn Malik has officially dropped the music video for his much-anticipated new single, Die For Me.
Just hours before the release, the former One Direction star took to Instagram to tease fans with a short clip from the fiery visual.
“Die For Me Official Music Video [tornado emoji] Midnight ET,” he captioned the snippet, sending fans into a frenzy ahead of the premiere.The video leans into dark, intense imagery as the Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker appears dressed in a black outfit, singing the chorus of the song.
As he delivered the raw emotions, burning cars blaze behind him. Furthermore, there were some clips of a violent windstorm shattering glass around the X Factor alum as he continues to sing.
Released on Friday, 6 February, Die For Me serves as the first single from Zayn’s upcoming fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, which is set to arrive on 17 April.
The music video premiered on YouTube and is available on Zayn’s official channel under exclusive license to Mercury Records.
For the unversed, the newly released song was previously teased during the Stardust singer’s debut solo Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in January.
Interestingly, for One Direction fans and members of the Zquad, the single is just the beginning, as Zayn is set to release his fifth album in April and has announced he will be hitting the road for his debut solo headline arena tour starting 12 May, in Manchester.
While Malik’s tour ticket prices are not yet known, they are expected to be reasonably priced. During a recent gig in Las Vegas, he told the audience: “I just want to say a big, big thank you for being here with me tonight…. hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high – just saying, anyway!”
