Almost one full year after leaving the most popular boy band in the world, former One Direction member Zayn Malik announced the name of his first solo single. The singer wrote on his Twitter account that he will release "Pillow Talk" on Jan. 29 on "The Graham Norton Show," according to Rolling Stone.
Malik posted the cover art for the single early Sunday morning. The black and white photo showed the singer lying down shirtless as information about "Pillow Talk" posted over top.
Although Malik did not reveal much more details about his forthcoming single, he previously revealed that the first track would be all about sex. "I think I'm pretty black and white about what it's about," the 23-year-old told The Sunday Times said. "Everybody has sex, and it's something people want hear about."
"It's part of everybody's life, a very BIG part of life," Malik continued. "And you don't want to sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about."
Malik left One Direction in March 2015 and said that a big reason he left the band was because he said it was not the type of music he was interested in making.
"Would you listen to One Direction at a party with your girl? I wouldn't," Malik told The Fader back in November. "To me, that's not an insult, that's me as a 22-year-old man. As much as I was in that band, and I loved everything that we did, that's not music that I would listen to. I want to make music that I think is cool shit. I don't think that's too much to ask for."
