Zayn posted a 16-second teaser to his social media networks on Friday.
The video was taken with a drone camera, which gradually zoomed away from the 30-year-old.
My year 11 English brain tells me that’s a metaphor for One Direction gradually drifting apart, but that’s definitely going too far.
A simple drum rhythm can be heard in the background, giving off lo-fi vibes.
So far, we enjoy it and are adequately teased, as are the 2.5 million other people who have viewed the tune on TikTok.

Liam then made a sweet little comment on Instagram, where the footage has received 17.5 million views (and where Zayn has erased everything but the two song previews).
“This sounds big already,” he wrote.
“Appreciate it bro, thanks for the love,” replied Zayn.
One Direction fans are definitely going crazy following this conversation between two bandmates we thought would never converse civilly again.

The interaction is even more startling given what occurred between the two in June of last year.
In case you missed it, Zayn posted an 8-second video to Instagram nailing the high note from One Direction’s song “You & I” after Liam remarked on Logan Paul’s podcast that there were “many reasons” why he wasn’t a fan of Zayn.
