Just a year ago, ZAYN Malik announced his departure from One Direction, with whom he’d been a prominent member since 2010. He would quickly sign a deal with RCA Records and enter 2016 with specific plans to release a solo album, which is why we’ve received songs like “PillowTalk,” which became just the 25th song in Billboard Hot 100 history to debut at #1, and “It’s You,” which is gaining in popularity. As Malik prepares to release his solo debut, Mind of Mine, he’s released the first club-banger of his young career, “Like I Would,” which you can stream above. Contrary to slow-brooding songs like his first two singles, “Like I Would” kicks off mildly but quickly becomes a high-octane party anthem with sprinkled EDM vibes. Mind of Mine will be out on March 25, and features a lone guest appearance from Kehlani.
