Zayn Malik isn't wasting his time after leaving his former band One Direction. After releasing his first solo album "Mind of Mine" and its lead single "Pillowtalk" in 2016, Zayn has dropped another single from his second album. This time Zayn collaborated with Sia, after teaming up with PartyNextDoor for this album's first single named "Still Got Time."
"Dusk Till Dawn" is a pop power ballad written by Malik and Sia with 2017 Grammy producer of the year Greg Kurstin. A big-budget video of the song has been released five days ago and has 32 million views on YouTube.
Even though it has been labeled as a "step backward" from "Still Got Time" by the critics, the song has been received very well by the fans and is trending.
First One Direction star with a solo career
Zayn Malik left his former band One Direction in March 2015. Since then, he has had a very successful solo career. He was the first member of One Direction to leave the band, and because of it, many people were very interested to see his first solo work. In an interview with Zane Lowe, Malik revealed that his first album would be called "Mind of Mine." From the start of their great run together, Zayn seemed like he didn't like being in the band and the music they were making. He did like his bandmates, but after a five-year run, he decided to do his own thing.
His first album was mostly made from R&B songs, showing that Zayn will have a different style as a solo artist.

"Mind of Mine" was released March 25, 2015. It had 15 tracks, including singles "Pillowtalk," "Like I Would" and "Wrong" featuring Kehlani. It was very well received by critics who praised the new direction that Zayn Malik has taken as a solo artist.
