Solo career - on July 29, 2015, Zayn wrote on his Twitter feed that he had signed a solo record deal with RCA. Making the announcement, Zayn said, "I guess I never explained why I left, it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic" - a perceived dig at his former band, One Direction.
Big break-through - Zayn's major break came in 2010 when he appeared as a solo artist on the UK edition of X-Factor: the judges on the TV show suggested that Zayn and 4 other solo artists join together to create a new band - called One Direction. Despite One Direction's huge subsequent global success, Zayn announced he was to leave the band on March 25, 2015. Zayn said “My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band”.
Family Background - Born to British Pakistani father Yaser and an English mother, Tricia Malik (née Brannan), he has one older sister, Doniya, and two younger sisters, Waliyha and Safaa. He grew up in East Bowling, was a pupil at Lower Fields Primary School, and went to Tong High School, a state comprehensive school. During the summer of 2013, Zayn announced his engagement to Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, but in August 2015 the pair separated.
Musical influences - Zayn cites urban music as his main musical influence, growing up, he was into R&B and rap. He as well as other members of One Direction further notes artists such as Bruno Mars, as a "dream collaborator."
Faith - Malik is a Muslim, and once wrote on Twitter, "La ila ha ill lalla ho muhammed door rasoolalah", known as a common declaration of faith among Muslims meaning: "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah."
Miscellaneous - Zayn is addicted to smoking cigarettes; in late 2011, he expressed his desire to quit.
It's You
Zayn Malik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her own reasons
For talking to me
And she don't, she don't, she don't
Give a fuck
About what I need
And I can't tell you why
Because my brain can't equate it
Tell me your lies
Because I just can't face it
It's you, it's you
It's you
It's you, it's you
It's you
I won't, I won't, I won't
Cover the scars
I'll let 'em bleed
So my silence
So my silence won't
Be mistaken for peace
Am I wrong for wanting us to make it?
Tell me your lies
Because I just can't face it
It's you, it's you
It's you
It's you, it's you
It's you
Could it be that it's a lesson
That I never had to learn?
I looked at it like a blessing
And now it's just a curse
I don't know why
I don't know why
It's you, it's you
It's you, it's you
It's you
In Zayn Malik's song "iT's YoU," he sings about a woman who he is deeply troubled by. The lyrics suggest that she has her own reasons for talking to him and isn't concerned with his needs or desires. Zayn's confusion over her behavior is evident in the line "And I can't tell you why, because my brain can't equate it." Despite feeling unsettled, Zayn is unable to break free from her, instead choosing to accept her lies about their relationship because he can't face the truth.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that it's all about "you." Zayn is fixated on this woman, even though she causes him pain. He can't help but feel drawn to her, singing "It's you" repeatedly. The lyrics show that he's holding on to her despite her mistreatment of him, suggesting a deep, possibly unhealthy attachment.
The second verse reveals that Zayn is harboring emotional scars from this relationship. He won't cover them up because he wants to be honest about the pain she's caused him. He's resigned himself to the fact that his silence won't be mistaken for peace, but rather a result of his inability to speak up. The last few lines suggest that he's disillusioned by what he thought was a blessing - this relationship - but is now realizing it's nothing but a curse.
Overall, "iT's YoU" is a moody ballad that presents a complex emotional landscape. Zayn's lyrics reveal a sense of helplessness and despair, and suggest that the woman he's singing about exerts a powerful hold over him despite his attempts to resist.
