Khalid has had a blockbuster 2017. Not only has the rising star won Best New Artist at the VMAs but he has also seen his debut album American Teen go Platinum in the US and even scored a Top 5 UK hit with his Marshmello collaboration 'Silence'.

On top of all of that, the 'Young Dumb & Broke' singer is currently gearing up to release a Normani Kordei duet.

View the lyrics
Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter
'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort
All this time, I've been hiding

And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
I'm so used to sharing
Love only left me alone
But I'm at one with the silence

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long, oh

I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh

I'm in need of a savior
But I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it

I'm so used to being in the wrong
I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home
So I'll sit here in the silence

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long, oh

I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh

I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh

YES. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR BOTH NORMANI AND KHALID ON A SONG.

News that the superstar collaboration is actually happening and not just a rumour surfaced in August but Khalid teased it further on the AMAs red carpet on Sunday. When asked about it, the 'Location' hitmaker confirmed: "It is real and it is coming."

Discussing the theme of the track that they've recorded, Khalid then said: "You know I love some heartbreak."

As for recording with Normani, Khalid revealed: "She's awesome because she's also a very good friend of mine. So it was very genuine, it was down to earth and we wanted to make something that we'd play on repeat and I think we succeeded".

Amazing. Khalid even suggested that he may be up for working with Fifth Harmony too.

"They are awesome girls. They are talented and their personalities are insanely great."

While all four girls are brilliant together, we're super excited to hear Normani solo too.

She is incredible in her own right and we know that her Khalid duet will be sublime.
