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).

Zayn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like sands of time
I hope and I hope you'll still be fine
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
It's meant to be
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
It's meant to be
Seems to be incomplete
The choices we make change the path that we take, but I know
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows
It goes and it's golden
Like sands of time
I hope and I hope
You'll still be fine
I know that it's bright
Look through the light and see, it's meant to be
Every single jigsaw piece
The choices we make change the path that we take, but I know
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows
'Cause it grows and it grows
And I hope that you know
'Cause it grows and it grows
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
The choices we make change the path that we take
But I know
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows
The lyrics of Zayn’s song “Golden” are imbued with powerful symbolism and a message of hope. The opening lines, “It goes and it's golden, like sands of time” suggest that even though time is fleeting, some things remain precious and endure. The song is an ode to the pursuit of happiness, which is fraught with uncertainty and challenges.
The reference to a jigsaw puzzle is another interesting metaphor. “Every single jigsaw piece seems to be incomplete” suggests that we are all pieces in the larger picture of existence, and we need to find our place to feel complete. The choices we make determine the path we take, but there is still hope for finding the path that we chose.
The repetition of the phrase “I know that it’s bright, look through the light and see, it’s meant to be” serves as a reminder that despite the obstacles and uncertainty, we need to keep hope alive and believe that things will work out in the end.
Overall, “Golden” is a hopeful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to keep pushing through the challenges of life and never lose sight of the brighter future that lies ahead.

It goes and it's golden
Time passes by and it's valuable
Like sands of time
It slips away from our hands like fine grains of sand
I hope and I hope you'll still be fine
I wish that you'll be okay regardless of what happens
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
Things may seem hard, but if you look carefully you can find the hopeful side
It's meant to be
Things will work out as they should
Every single jigsaw piece
Every part of a situation is important
Seems to be incomplete
Nothing seems to be perfect
The choices we make change the path that we take, but I know
Our decisions affect our lives, but I'm confident
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a destiny that we've picked for ourselves
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows
We have a life to live and love to give
'Cause it grows and it grows
Love and life will continue to evolve
And I hope that you know
I hope you understand
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
There's a brighter side to things if you can see it
The choices we make change the path that we take
Our decisions affect our lives
But I know
But I'm certain
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a destiny that we've picked for ourselves
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows
We have a life to live and love to give
