On Friday, Jan. 29, 2016, Zayn Malik released his first solo music video, "Pillowtalk," at midnight. This video caused quite a catastrophe in the social media world. Zayn's seductive lyrics and funky graphics left both girls and boys speechless in their tweets. Many of these tweets consisted of all capital letters and words that are actually just a random mixture of letters instead of real words.
While some believe that Zayn's music video is primarily a sexy and romantic music video, there is some deep context behind the scenes in this video. Travel with me as we encounter the deep, creative mind of Zayn Malik.
1. The red tears
Sometimes, we wear red lipstick, but there is the chance of accidentally twitching while applying, resulting in it hitting our eyes. This really hurts, so we cry until the lipstick turns our tears red. Moral of the story: Don't twitch while applying red lipstick.
2. Multiple Zayns Part 1
This is the story of the "House of Mirrors." If you go to the beach, carnival or fair, you might see a place called the "House of Mirrors." It can be very difficult to escape this treacherous building, but Zayn is telling us not to worry. When you look into the mirror and see several versions of you, just imagine many of him instead.
3. The paint turns to flowers
This part is a challenge from Zayn himself. He is challenging you to look at that melted paint and create something from it. Create whatever is in your heart. You do you, boo.
4. The big fight
I know this clip probably looks like it encourages violence, but if you look at the back of Zayn's head, you can tell that his mouth is frowning. Violence makes Zayn sad. Do not use violence. Be kind to each other for Zayn's sake.
5. Multiple Zayns Part 2
Zayn put some of his own personal advertisement in this music video. This clip is advertising his new moving rug! This rug is great welcome for people entering your home. It's a wonderful rug.
6. Pink zebra girl
This is a very inspirational part of this music video. It's encouraging you to be true to yourself and come out of your shell. Press through the pink blanket and become the zebra you've always wanted to be!
7. Flowers for you
Fangirls are always wanting a sneak peek into sweet Zayn's world. He listened to your prayers. He gave you a sneak peak into his home: his couch. His sweet little couch where he places his bottom is in this video. However, this is just a glimpse of the pattern of his couch, so we just have to imagine it spread out on the entire couch.
8. Multiple Zayns Part 3
We're on this roller coaster ride called life. We're moving fast, going upside-down, side-to-side and feeling a little queasy. Zayn wants you to know he feels nauseous sometimes too. It's OK to throw up, sometimes.
9. Zayn's black tears
This is a huge shout out to all the girls who have cried in public. Zayn knows how hard you worked on your mascara. He knows how terrible it is to know that your winged eyeliner is just melting down your face because someone broke your heart. Zayn is here for you. Zayn understands you.
10. His couch melted
Another thing you might not know about Zayn is that he is so hot that he melts everything he touches.
His couch is mush now. That design doesn't even matter anymore.
11. Zayn spreads
A friendly reminder to always spread your butter across your bread softly! You don't want to rip your bread.
12. Angry girl
If someone makes you angry, do not be afraid to growl. You are allowed to yell at all the people who make you angry, but afterwards make sure tell them that you hope for the best for them.
13. This
I have nothing to say about this. Zayn would not let me know what he was thinking when he added this to the video.
I hope this article opens your eyes to the deepness and care in Zayn's heart. He is such a creative soul. Thank you, Zayn, for this masterpiece.
