British electronic R&B duo Snakehips teamed up with Zayn Malik for “Cruel,” a soulful mid-tempo New Jack Swing-inspired single that Snakehips originally teased with a cryptic tweet:

[Verse 1: ZAYN]
Cab radio screamin', noise and tears
Death on the TV, and then there's you
It's fucked, it's crazy, I can't concentrate, I just see your outline Mmm
[Pre-Chorus: ZAYN]
Back where we left off, watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself, remembering you
Your body hurts me, loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness, you stay so sweet
[Chorus: ZAYN]
It's such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
[Verse 2: ZAYN]
Some prick at the party, all scripts and boasts
A dead-eyed actress girl, and then there's you
Venus in Converse, you put a spell on me
And you're lockin' up the bathroom door for us
[Pre-Chorus: ZAYN]
Back where we left off, watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself, remembering you
Your body hurts me, loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness, you stay so sweet
[Chorus: ZAYN]
It's such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
[Bridge: ZAYN]
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Just see your outline
[Pre-Chorus: ZAYN]
Back where we left off, help you take your dress off
I've been by myself, remembering you
Your body hurts me, loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness, you stay so sweet
[Chorus: ZAYN]
It's such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
[Outro: ZAYN]
Sunrise in Hollywood, we ain't slept for days
Perfect disaster, me and you
Cruel was written by Cass Lowe & Erik Hassle & James David & Oliver Dickinson & ZAYN.
Zayn was so cool to work with. We had this beat and this idea we were working on, and we sent it out to him, and he just totally crushed it. It was a really cool thing to be a part of.
“Love” being sexual activity, it means abstaining from sex until he gets to be with a certain person. It’s likely a reference to the popular Whitney Houston song “Saving All My Love for You,” in which Houston yearns for a man who’s married to another woman.
