Zayn Might Be Collaborating With DJ Snake On Second Album

Fans are speculating that the heartthrob is in the studio with the 'Lean On' producer...

Tuesday, January 16, 2018 - 15:56

Zayn Malik has kept us waiting for his second album and it looks like he's taking some more time with it.

In reality it's actually been less than two years since the ex-One Directioner dropped his debut album and emerged from The X Factor group as a sensual R&B force to be reckoned with.

However, he kicked off his second album campaign in May with the lush 'Still Got Time', followed by the massive single 'Dusk Till Dawn', and has been keeping us guessing ever since.

Just stop lookin' for love
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got
Just stop lookin' for love
You still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time

This could be something if you let it be something
Don't scare me away
Turning something's into nothing, babe
You're already used to the games, babe
You play your role and I play the same

Come give it to me, yea ah yea
Come give it to me, play by play
I could tell you've been bored all day
Cuz you're young and you still got time
Don't waste your time
We've been wasting away, aw yeah
And no matter what you say, aw yeah
That smile gon' take you places
And I know you wanna see some faces

Just stop lookin' for love
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got
Just stop lookin' for love
You still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time

I know I'm working my magic
And I know you diggin' my fabric
I'm boyfriend material
You said it yourself, you digging me
And I'd be lying if I said it wasn't equally (equally, babe)
A feeling that we both feel
Something that is so real
But I got to let you know slowly
Well, it may be truthfully
But you just gotta stop looking for it

Come give it to me, yea, ah, yea
Come give it to me, play by play
I could tell you've been bored all day
Cuz you're young and you still got time
Don't waste your time
We been wasting away, aw yeah
And no matter what you say, aw yeah
That smile gon' take you places
And I know you wanna see some places

Just stop lookin' for love
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got
Just stop lookin' for love
You still got time
Girl, you know, you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time

This could be something, yeah
This could be
This could be something
If you let it be something
It could be something, yeah
This could be
This could be something, yeah
If you let it be something
Right now I wanna see ya

Come give it to me, yea ah yea
Come give it to me, play by play
I could tell you've been bored all day
Cuz you're young and you still got time
Don't waste your time
We've been wasting away, aw yeah
And no matter what you say, aw yeah
That smile gon' take you places
And I know you wanna see some places

Just stop lookin' for love
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got
Just stop looking for love
You still got time
Girl, you know you still got time
Girl, you know you still got

Fans worried that the album was still in the recording stages when Zayn uploaded a photo from the studio earlier today, however it now seems that it's for a separate project.

The 'Pillowtalk' singer shared a photo - captioned "studio" - of something in the studio with a snake drawn over it, and mega-prodcer DJ Snake's reaction has us all at the edge of our seats.

DJ Snake, who co-produced Major Lazer's 'Lean On' and released the Bieber-assisted banger 'Let Me Love You' in 2016, commented a classic snake emoji, hinting that he was in the studio with Zayn.

Is this collaboration for Zayn's album? A one-off DJ Snake single? We have no idea, although our bet would be on the latter.

From the few details Zayn has confirmed, we believe that Z2 will build on the R&B soundscape of Mind Of Mine so it may not be the best place for a major banger with DJ Snake to appear.

We know that the heartthrob has been working with Malay, Timbaland and even has a collaboration with Nicki Minaj on there.

Wherever this song ends up, we know it's going to be incredible. Bring it (preferably soon, please and thank you)!

Not tryna be indie
Not tryna be cool
Just tryna be in this
Tell me are you too?

Can you feel where the wind is?
Can you feel it through
All of the windows
Inside this room?

'Cause I wanna touch you baby
And I wanna feel you too
I wanna see the sun rise
On your sins just me and you

Light it up, on the run
Let's make love tonight
Make it up, fall in love
Try
(Baby, I'm right here)

But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here

We were shut like a jacket
So do your zip
We would roll down the rapids
To find a wave that fits

Can you feel where the wind is?
Can you feel it through
All of the windows
Inside this room?

'Cause I wanna touch you baby
I wanna feel you too
I wanna see the sun rise
On your sins just me and you

Light it up, on the run
Let's make love tonight
Make it up, fall in love
Try
(Baby, I'm right here)

But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here

Girl give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Girl give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Girl give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Girl give love to your body
Girl give love to your body

But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
