1.) Zayn Malik is best known as one of the founding members of the boy-band-of-a-generation One Direction. Born Zain Javadd Malik on January 12, 1993 in the working-class town of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England, Zayn honed his vocal talents and stage command at a young age. Growing up as a mixed race Pakistani-English Muslim in a postindustrial British town presented some difficulties, which resulted in a number of primary school changes. His talents were eventually fostered at Tong High School, where he delved into performing arts and stage production, even starring as Danny Zuko in the school's production of Grease. In 2010, he auditioned for The X Factor but was eliminated (along with his future One Direction bandmates, who also auditioned solo). The quintet was later brought back as a group and Simon Cowell dubbed them One Direction. Despite finishing in third place, their popularity exploded and would not slow their trajectory until the very end.
After the show, Cowell immediately signed them to his label, Syco Records, kicking off a craze that hadn't been seen since the turn of the millennium with the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. From 2011 to 2014, One Direction released an album each year, each one more successful than the last. Their fourth album, Four, would turn out to be the last with Zayn. In March 2015, while the band was on the On the Road Again Tour, Malik abruptly parted ways with One Direction a week after his final appearance with the group in Hong Kong. Citing stress and a desire for a simpler life out of the spotlight, Malik later revealed that he simply wanted to make music that he could listen to and enjoy.
Striking out on his own, he signed with RCA Records and moved to Los Angeles, where he began working on his solo effort with Naughty Boy (Beyoncé, Sam Smith). The two soon parted and Malik turned to Frank Ocean collaborator James "Malay" Ho for production help. His debut single, "Pillowtalk," was released in late January 2016, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, and featured a distinctly more adult-themed alt-R&B sound, similar to the Weeknd and Miguel. His full-length debut, Mind of Mine, was released in early 2016 and topped the Billboard 200 chart. Late that year, he returned with the single "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," a collaboration with Taylor Swift and Bleachers' Jack Antonoff that appeared on the soundtrack to Fifty Shades Darker. Second studio album, "Icarus Falls," was released in December 2018. The album contains 27 tracks including six previous singles he has been released. His song with Sia, "Dusk Till Dawn" and and his song with PartyNextDoor, "Still Got Time" were initially only in Japanese edition of the record. However, in August 2020 these songs were added to the tracklist in streaming services internationally.
In September 2020, Zayn released "Better" which is the lead single of his third album "Nobody Is Listening" . Later, on January, one week before the album release, Zayn released "Vibez" as second single from the album. One week later Zayn released the album. Zayn described this album as "his most personal project".
Malik has now been released by RCA Records and is an free agent he remains at his home in Pennsylvania recording music.
2.) Zayn (arabic, refers to inner beauty) is an instrumental quartet from Croatia formed in 2011 by Miran Kapelac (bass), Bojan Gatalica (guitar), Marko Dragičević (guitar) and Alen Rožman (drums).

Like A Would
ZAYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking 'bout it's not my style
Thought I'd see what's up
While I'm lighting up
It's cold-hearted, cold-hearted
Know it's late but I'm so wired
Saw your face and got inspired
It's cold-hearted, cold-hearted
Oh, oh
It's probably gonna sound wrong
Promise it won't last long
Oh, oh
If we can never go back
Thought you'd like to know that
He won't touch you like I do
He won't love you like I would
He don't know your body
He don't do you right
He won't love you like I would
Love you like I would
It's okay to want me, 'cause I want you
Been thinkin' it over, but I'm through
So stop wasting all my time, messing with my mind
It's cold-hearted, cold-hearted
Oh, oh
It's probably gonna sound wrong
Promise it won't last long
Oh, oh
If we can never go back
Thought you'd like to know that
He won't touch you like I do
He won't love you like I would
He don't know your body
He don't do you right
He won't love you like I would
Love you like I would, like I would
He won't touch you like I do
He won't love you like I would
He don't know your body
He don't do you right
He won't love you like I would
Love you like I would, like I would
He can't love you like I would
He can't love you like I could
(He don't know your body)
He don't know your body
He won't touch you like I do
He won't love you like I would
He don't know your body
He don't do you right
He won't love you like I would
Love you like I would
Like I would
He can't touch you like I would
Won't touch you like I do
He can't love you like I could
Won't love you like I would
He don't know your body
He don't do you right
He won't love you like I would
Love you like I would
Like I would
In Zayn's song "Like I Would," the lyrics are about a past relationship where the singer still has feelings for their ex-partner. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that it's been a while since they last spoke and confesses that talking about it is not their style. The singer announces their current state of mind, feeling wired and inspired to reach out to their ex-partner. The chorus states that no one can touch the ex-partner like the singer does, and that the new person in their life won't do things right or love them the way the singer did.
The verse following the chorus continues the post-breakup reflection, expressing the singer's realization that it's okay to want their ex-partner back. However, the singer strengthens their stance that it's not worth wasting time playing games or messing with their mind. The repetition of "cold-hearted" in the song is consistent with the singer’s attitude and overall emotion towards the situation.
Overall, "Like I Would" is a song that delves into the feeling of longing for an ex while acknowledging that they have moved on. Though the lyrics possess a definite melancholy and pained tone, the confident way the singer says "he won't touch you like I'm doing" shows that there's still a level of pride and confidence in what they offered to the previous relationship.

Hey what's up, it's been a while
Long time no see, I'm not one to bring up the past
Talking 'bout it's not my style
I'm not used to talking about what happened between us
Thought I'd see what's up
I thought I'd check in
While I'm lighting up
While I'm smoking something
It's cold-hearted, cold-hearted
Our past relationship ended on a bitter note
Know it's late but I'm so wired
I know it's late, but I'm too energized to sleep
Saw your face and got inspired
After seeing a picture of you, I felt inspired to reach out
Guess you let it go, now you're good to go
I assume you moved on, and are doing well
Oh, oh
Here it comes
It's probably gonna sound wrong
What I'm about to say might not be well-received
Promise it won't last long
I promise it won't take long to say
If we can never go back
If there is no chance for us to restart our relationship
Thought you'd like to know that
I wanted you to be aware of this
He won't touch you like I do
Your new partner won't touch you the way I used to
He won't love you like I would
Your new partner won't love you the way I did
He don't know your body
Your new partner doesn't know your body like I did
He don't do you right
Your new partner isn't treating you right
Love you like I would
Only I can love you the way you deserve
It's okay to want me, 'cause I want you
It's understandable for you to want me, because I want you too
Been thinkin' it over, but I'm through
I've been considering this for a while, but I've made up my mind
So stop wasting all my time, messing with my mind
Stop playing games and messing with my emotions
He can't love you like I would
No one else can love you the way I did
Won't touch you like I do
No one else can touch you like I did
He don't know your body
Your new partner doesn't know your body like I did
He won't love you like I would
Your new partner won't love you the way I did
Love you like I would
Only I can love you the way you deserve
