True LoveZayn Malik Sings About Gigi Hadid on 3rd Album ‘Nobody Is Listening’: Lyric Breakdown

‘Calamity’

To kick off the record, Zayn shows off his classic R&B style with a rap ballad that appears to be looking back on the past and referencing the future. At one point in the song, he talks about “nostalgia,” calling it a “funny feeling” and later on discusses “which life” he should choose.

‘Better’

Zayn made his return to music with “Better” in September 2020. At the time of its release, fans were convinced that it was about his relationship with Gigi. The entire song seems to be about giving an on-and-off-again relationship one more chance.

“Know you might not feel quite the same way / But I love you / I tell you, I love you,” Zayn sings on the track. “Why? Why wait to fight? / Give it a try / Or I’ll say goodbye while it’s right.”

‘Outside’

Similar to “Better” the lyrics in this song, seem to be Zayn reflecting on an ex-lover who he wants to get back with (presumably Gigi). ” Hurts me when I think about it / Someone else being in your bed,” he sings.

‘Vibez’

Another love song that seems to be dedicated to his longtime love, “Vibez” was the album’s second single and details an intimate moment between the singer and his girlfriend.

‘When Love’s Around’ featuring Syd

Zayn hints at marriage in this song, which sent fans into a frenzy. “But I need you in my life / Yeah you could be my wife for real,” the lyrics read. Listeners have taken to social media and speculated about whether or not the singer is gearing up to propose.

‘Connexion’

Featuring his famous high notes, this track talks about the connection Zayn feels between himself and Gigi, especially with the lyrics “It’s like a force we can’t explain / Work like a magnet, babe.”

‘Sweat’

This song details another intimate moment between Zayn and a lover. According to the lyrics, he wants to give his partner all of his “attention” while they’re together.

‘Unf–kwitable’

Seemingly a nod to his career, Zayn reflects on himself with this song and how people said he would never amount to anything. “They all said I wouldn’t do s–t / Now they all about my new s–t,” he sings, appearing to reference his departure from One Direction and criticisms he received after leaving the band.

‘Windowsill’ featuring Devlin

Perhaps the most sexually charged song on the album, this dynamic duo appears to sing about a lover who stays with them through everything.

‘Tightrope’

Zayn compares his love with Gigi to a tightrope in this track explaining how it’s so real and so big that he “ain’t never fell from a love this tall.”

‘River Road’

Finally, to wrap up Nobody Is Listening, Zayn looks forward to what’s next. The song’s title seems to reference the road he’s on with his career as he wonders “What will I leave behind mе? / Where will I choose to go?”
