»»Zayn is a man at wits’ end on the lovestruck
soul ballad “Better.” The slinky R&B ballad from
the new dad dropped on Friday morning and it
finds the former boy bander contemplating a
love he can’t shake, but might just have to.
The song’s chorus makes the heartbreak
crystal clear: “Why? Why wait to fight?/ Give it
a try/ Or I’ll say goodbye while it’s right/ Can
we save tears in your eyes?/ I’m making you
cry/ Why wait to hate, can we save love?”
The song, co-written by Zayn, is slated for this
upcoming third album, which is described in a
release as his “most personal project to date.
With total creative reign on his third album,
Zayn is making the music he has always
wanted to.” The accompanying video directed
by Ryan Hope finds him waking up alone in in
an empty house while some unknown figures
surveil him from afar.

Hadid captioned a black-and-white photo of the
baby holding Zayn’s thumb.
