Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik blessed his fans with his first solo single Pillowtalk just a few days ago – and now he has teased a snippet of what appears to be a new track, Late Nights.
The black-and-white preview shows a topless, tattooed Zayn nodding pensively along to his own song.

The nine-second clip features the lyrics “Late nights, red eyes, I need you” – or possibly, “Late nights, red eyes, amnesia” – with the words “Late Nights” overlaid.
Some were so blind-sided that they struggled to form coherent sentences…

In fact, based on a handful of seconds, some people already think the song deserves awards:
is late nights the name of the song or he just put it there randomly? whatever it is, that was the most GRAMMY WORTHY ten secs of all time

They will have to wait a while for the full album, as Mind Of Mine is not due for release until March 25.
