Zayn Malik has a surprise for his desi fans in his new song Tightrope. The track, released as part of his new album Nobody Is Listening which dropped on January 15, includes a verse from a classic Hindi film song.
The former One Direction member has paid homage to his desi roots as Tightrope includes the chorus from Mohammad Rafi’s iconic 1960s song Chaudhvin Ka Chand. As the song reached outro, the 28-year-old can be heard singing the first four lines of the classic composition that fits right into the romantic melody of Zayn’s ballad.
Listen to it here:
Born and raised in Bradford, Zayn’s father is a British Pakistani, while his mother is of English and Irish descent. The song inclusion is being lauded by desi fans, who have been showering Zayn with compliments online.
