'Like I Would' is another track from 'Mind Of Mine' where Zayn addresses someone directly, letting them know no one else is as suitable for them as he is. The year is 2016 and Zayn has dropped his debut album along with 'PILLOWTALK' and got the whole world talking about his new romance with Gigi. So, it appears they had split when this track was written. Lyrics include: 'Baby, let me be your manДЇor the rest of my life, for the rest of yours'ДЄn interview from around the time with Ryan Seacrest sees him all but confirm the track is about Gigi when discussing a relationship he 'thought he would spend the rest of his life in'. In the track, Zayn is still very much in love with the person in question, asking them to spend the rest of their life with him. 'Let Me' is another 2018 track from his second album 'Icarus Falls' and from a period where things with the pair were a little cloudier- were they together, or not? The pair packed on the PDA in one of the most iconic music videos of the past decade (you may debate us, but, we're confident we'd triumph).ДЇive whole years on we still have the song on repeat and the video makes us weak, especially knowing how fair the pair have come- welcoming their first child together in 2020! There You Are Zayn decided to save everyone the trouble of speculating if the track was about his blossoming romance with Gigi by casting her as the lead in the video opposite himself. 'Pillowtalk' is where it all began for the singer, the first single he dropped as a solo artist after leaving One Direction and boy did he not disappoint. Zayn debuted his relationship with Gigi Hadid in 'PILLOWTALK'. This pair keep us weeping, but the good kind of weeping. Know you might not feel quite the same way Just this one time, hear what I'm tryna say Gotta let it go so your heart don't break Lyrics include: 'Cause, sometimes it's better that way Nevertheless, the track is aimed at one person in particular, all about how much he loves them. The video shows him dressing in a hotel room which some speculated could be about a wedding, but unlike other videos, he left this was one a little more vague.
