Ahead of the much awaited release of his upcoming album, Room Under The Stairs, on May 17, Zayn Malik opened up about various aspects of his life and relationships during a recent appearance on The Zach Sang Show. The 31-year-old singer delved into his relationship with Gigi Hadid and their daughter Khai, as well as his journey with One Direction and the evolving perspective on his life. During the interview, the Pillowtalk singer, who rose to fame after his stint on The X Factor in 2010, expressed regret about not fully appreciating his time in the boy-band, featuring Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson. Zayn discussed the frustrations he felt at the time and described himself as a “negative cloud of energy”. However, he acknowledged that his outlook has shifted since then.
Zayn explained, “The main thing that I always feel bad about like when I look back over my life is not enjoying the bond enough, I feel like I just took things too seriously and I’m grateful that I’m able to be happier now and actually enjoy things and own my own perspective a bit, that’s my choice, I get to decide what that is. So if I frame everything in a negative manner I’m not going to gain no satisfaction from it but if I move with happiness I can gain so much more and I can have a good time and enjoy my life.”
“I think that’s one thing that I’m really grateful for now that I didn’t understand the importance of when I was younger. I didn’t understand the importance of just trying to be happy. I had this teen thing going on with a chip on my shoulder where I’m like it’s really cool to just be moody all the time. It’s not like you’re just a loser, you should be a nice person, you should be somebody that people want to be around and enjoy being in your presence and you should bring light to people’s day instead of being this negative cloud of energy,” Zayn Malik added.
The singer further claimed that how becoming a father to his daughter Khai, which he shares with ex Gigi Hadid, transformed him. He shared that Khai brings immense joy and love into his life that he hadn’t experienced before her birth. Zayn described Khai’s joyful nature and her ability to find happiness in simple pleasures, which refreshes him and offers a fresh outlook on life.
In 2015, Zayn Malik’s departure from the British boy band One Direction stunned the world and broke many hearts. The band, formed by Simon Cowell on the UK’s X Factor in 2010, included Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Just a year after Malik’s exit, the group announced their disbandment.
