AccuRadio Song Of The Day-ZAYN


Artist:ZAYN f/Taylor Swift

Song:I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)

Album:Fifty Shades Darker: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack


Zayn Malik first had success as part of the X Factor group One Direction. Since leaving the group, he has had solo success with hits like the 2017 single I Don't Wanna Live Forever. He calls himself ZAYN. He was born Jan. 12, 1993 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. His father is from Pakistan. Malik grew up Muslim but he no longer identifies as Muslim. He auditioned for X Factor in 2010. Afterwards, he was put into a group that became One Direction. I have never liked that X Factor puts strangers into groups. Groups should want to be together. One Direction finished third and Simon Cowell signed them to his Syco label. Though One Direction had a lot of success, Malik left to go solo in 2015. He said in interviews that the group had no creative control and he always wanted to leave. Malik signed with RCA and his 2016 debut album Mind of Mine was certified Platinum. The single Pillowtalk topped the charts in England and the US. It is his only #1 hit to date. I Don't Wanna Live Forever came close to that. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the British Singles chart. The song was recorded for the film Fifty Shades Darker. It's a duet with Taylor Swift. She wrote the song with frequent songwriting partner Jack Antonoff and Sam Dew. Antonoff produced. He was a member of fun. but these days he works a lot with Taylor. The song is not on one of Malik's albums. It's only on the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. Since then Malik has released two albums. They haven't been as successful as his early albums and RCA dropped him last year. He seems to be a little young to be a has been. But maybe he wasn't that good to start with. Here's the video for I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker) by ZAYN featuring Taylor Swift.
