Zayn Malik’s gotOne Directionon the brain!
On Monday, the 29-year-old singer-songwriter shared a video of himself performing ana cappella cover of One Direction’s 2014 hit “Night Changes”— just over two months after he posted a video singing the group’s “You and I,” released the same year.
In the black and white clip, Malik dons a black tank top, overalls, chain necklace and headband as he sits at a table in front of two windows and a stone wall. Filmed in selfie mode, he croons theX Factor-formed boy band’sFoursingle, which was Malik’s last with One Direction before departing the group in 2015.
“Everything that you’ve ever dreamed of / Disappearing when you wake up / But there’s nothing to be afraid of / Even when the night changes / It will never change me and you,” Malik sings in the Instagram video.

After a brief discussion ofMalik’s alleged September 2021 physical altercation with then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid’s mother Yolanda, Payne told the podcast host, “There’s many reasons why I dislike Zayn and there’s many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side.”
Days after the podcast aired and gained attention, Payne clarified his feelings toward Malik in a series of tweets.
“Guys – I wouldn’t normally comment on this stuff but when it’s your family it’s hard to let it slide,” began Payne’s post. "They mentioned a specific incident involving Zayn which I responded to – but listening back maybe I didn’t articulate myself as well as I could have."

In May, Styles, 28, spoke toApple Music’s Zane Loweabout the bond shared between the One Direction bandmates.
“I feel really lucky that we always had each other to be this unit that felt like you could keep each other in check and you could just have someone else who gets it,” he shared. “Because it’s impossible to not, at times I think everyone experiences this, feel like, ‘Oh, everyone else is on the other side of the glass and I’m on this side of the glass, and no one really gets it.'”
“And I think having that is kind of priceless. There is very much a respect between all of us, if we did something together,” Styles added. “And that is something that you can’t really undo. And you know, it’s like a very deep love for each other, I think.”
