Less banging beats on the pop star’s third solo single.

After the Disclosure-esque pop-hit-in-the-making that was ‘Like I Would‘, Zayn Malik – now referred to simply as ZAYN – has circled back to ballad territory with new track ‘BeFoUr’.

It also sounds like he’s throwing shade at former bandmates One Direction: “Time for me to move up / So many hours have gone / Heart beats the pump of my blood / No strings for you to pull on.”

It’s the latest offering from ZAYN’s first solo album, Mind Of Mine, which is released on March 25.
