Background and release

After signing a recording deal with RCA Records,[3] Zayn gave several interviews with music magazines, such as The Fader and Billboard, to talk about his debut record. He stated "life experiences have been the influences for the album and just stuff that I've been through, especially in the last five years." He said the record will musically lean towards R&B, but will also have some tunes leaning towards R&B-rock or reggae.[4] Zayn's solo debut album Mind of Mine[5] was released on 25 March 2016.[6] On 24 January 2016, Zayn revealed the release date and promotional cover-art of the lead single "Pillowtalk" through Twitter.[7] It is Zayn's debut solo single after he left One Direction in March 2015.[8] Zayn wrote the song shortly after leaving the group, in collaboration with co-writers Mike and Anthony Hannides.[9] Speaking about his new single with The Sunday Times, Zayn said that "Pillowtalk" was written about sex, which he described as "so pure, so dirty and raw," adding, "everybody has sex, and it’s something people wanna hear about. It’s part of everybody’s life, a very big part of life. And you don’t want to sweep it under the carpet."[10][11] The song was inspired about and written shortly before he split from his ex-fiancé, Little Mix's Perrie Edwards.[12] Subsequently, "Pillowtalk" was made available for digital download in most countries worldwide via the iTunes Store on 29 January 2016.[13] It achieved worldwide success by topping the charts in a variety of markets, with combined sales and track-equivalent streams of 8 million units according to IFPI.

Remix

An acoustic version of the track, "Pillowtalk", was released on 3 February 2016.[14]

On Snapchat, Zayn revealed a snippet of a "Pillowtalk" remix featuring American rapper Lil Wayne,[15] which was later released as "Pillowtalk Remix" for digital download on 25 February 2016;[16] it is a hip hop remix with rapping by Wayne along with a rap verse from Wayne and an extra rap-sing verse by Zayn. The song has the first line of the second verse of the original song when Zayn says "Pillow talk" and then replaces the rest of the second verse to Wayne's verse. It replaces the bridge of the original song to a rap-sing verse from Zayn and then after Zayn's rap-sing verse to Wayne's bridge recapping the original chorus line from Zayn, "Its our paradise and its our war zone" twice.[17][18]

An alternate version of the remix was leaked in May 2016.[19] This version replaced Zayn's rap-sing verse with a verse from Tory Lanez. It is not an official remix. The original version of "Pillowtalk" has been included in the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 93.[20]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"['Pillowtalk'] is about sex – there is obviously sex in a relationship, though its not the whole incentive of the song. The actual intent of the song is even though you have great times in a relationship, you have really bad times as well but that's what makes it worthwhile because you learn things and you go through experiences that bring you closer together."

 — Zayn in an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.[21]

"Pillowtalk" is an R&B slow jam,[13][22] being the genre showcased in form of alternative R&B.[23][24][25] Also described as a downtempo electronic,[26] it features a smooth pop-R&B production,[27] and heavy beats.[28] According to music critics, the song represents a change from the mainly pop influences of his previous releases as a boyband member.[26][27]

"Pillowtalk" was written in common time in the key of B major, with a moderate tempo of 126 beats per minute.[29] The verses center around the chords of E major and F♯ major, with the vocal melody in the verses being pentatonic. Zayn's vocal performance makes use of ad-libs, at points using triplets against the prevailing tempo. The song demonstrates Zayn's tenor vocal range, particularly with the chorus.[30]

Its lyrics discuss the way that love and passion can turn abruptly into recklessness,[31] described by The Guardian as a "theatrical interpretation of intimacy and romance."[32] Zayn uses billowy vocals and buttery voice in the song.[33] He goes from soft lines in the pre-chorus, "I love to wake up next to you,"[11] to explicit content in the chorus: "in the bed all day / fucking and fighting on / It's a paradise and it's a war zone;" he sings about the pain that comes with being lovers.[33]

"Pillowtalk (the living room session)" features Malik's vocals with an acoustic guitar backing.[14] "Pillowtalk Remix" is a hip hop remix that features rapping by Lil Wayne as well as rapping and rap-singing by Zayn,[17][18] while the beats and melody have also been reworked to a hip hop style with additional hip-hop producer Jaegen.[34]

Critical reception

"Pillowtalk" received highly positive reviews from music critics for its production and Zayn's vocals. Writing for Forbes, Hugh McIntyre commented the song "is decidedly grown up, complete with plenty of x-rated words and adult imagery and themes. This isn’t another simple tune about broken hearts; it’s about love being both a paradise and a warzone. The song may be about similar situations, but Zayn is feeling—or expressing—things differently now."[26] Fuse's Jason Lipshutz described "Pillowtalk" as "a sexy, engrossing R&B track."[35] Brennan Carley of Spin praised the lyrics and Zayn's vocals, stating he "demonstrates a mastery on modern R&B within seconds. There’s passion in his voice, an instrument unencumbered and unshaven for the first time."[36] For The Guardian's Harriet Gibsone, it is a "slow, minimalist and lusty explosion of testosterone, a fountain of champagne and dodgy aftershave. It is a deliberate – and understandable – step into a more austere artistic guise."[32] The Guardian chose "Pillowtalk" as their pick of the week, stating that "against all odds, Zayn Malik’s debut single is shockingly good."[37] The Irish Times also chose it as their track of the week, describing it as "slick" and "nouveau R&B (like Miguel) with a blogwave backing."[38]

For Stereogum, Tom Breihan called it a "sleek, immaculately constructed piece of moody."[39] In Digital Spy, Lewis Corner gave the song four-out-of-five stars, writing "Zayn's clear vocal tone – at its very best on this – along with a big chorus and brain-niggling melody, keeps it sexy and fun without being sordid." He musically compared the "seductive R&B" track to The Weeknd's sounds and Justin Timberlake's early solo work, and concluded it isn't the "same old pop shit" but "the new British male superstar you hadn't realised you've been waiting for."[40] Lucas Villa of AXS wrote that the song "might not be [Zayn's] Justin Timberlake 'Cry Me a River' breakthrough just yet but it's a sweet something that will surely satisfy his older fans in the meanwhile."[41] Brittany Spanos in Rolling Stone called it a "smooth, sexy pop song."[42] Joe Lynch of Billboard noted that the song drops "One Direction's MOR pop for the more critically respected PBR&B".[23] Another Billboard review wrote that "Malik has left bubblegum pop behind" and from "here on, it's slick R&B."[13]

Alex Abad-Santos of Vox found that the topic contains "shopworn clichés, making the song feel like it's marketed and packaged for young ears" but concluded "Zayn's billowy, swirling vocals sell it so well that 'Pillowtalk' becomes something better than it first set out to be."[33] Christopher Weingarten in Rolling Stone wrote "there's nothing particularly special about his single" and found the lyrics "awkward" but concluded the song may be "important for R&B's future" as it "proves that the watery sound of alternative-leaning R&B has way more legs than the cult of personality built around the Weeknd."[25] Newsweek said the "track has an epic crashing chorus that’s raunchy and romantic in equal measure, with jazzy electronic elements that don’t overpower the 23-year-old’s formidable vocal chops."[43] AllMusic said the song features "his strong vocals over distinctly more adult-themed alt-R&B similar to The Weeknd and Miguel."[44] Magdalen Jenne of PopMatters said "Pillowtalk" is "hands down the best pop single of 2016 so far."[45] Rolling Stone named "Pillowtalk" one of the 30 best songs of the first half of 2016, writing "Like his AWOL boy band forefathers, Zayn Malik decided to use R&B and sex appeal to launch his post-One Direction. This Number One hit is a smooth, seductive lover's croon."[46] Billboard ranked "Pillowtalk" at number 37 on their "100 Best Pop Songs of 2016" list.[47] Spin staff ranked it as the 16th best boy-band solo debut single.[48]

Chart performance

"Pillowtalk" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart,[49] with 112,497 sales and about 4.972 million streams for the week,[50] Its subsequent UK sales were 82,264 copies in its second week,[51] 71,578 copies in the third week,[52] 58,732 copies the fourth week,[53] and 49,604 copies the fifth week.[54]

Overseas, it debuted at number one in Ireland and Australia, where it is the year's first song to enter at the top of the singles chart,[55] and it debuted at number one on the Finland download chart.[56] It also debuted at number one in Canada, Greece, Portugal, and Slovakia, and reached number one in Hungary, New Zealand, Singapore and Sweden. Worldwide, Zayn had the highest first-day and weekly streams for a debut artist.[57] As of 20 April 2016, the song has received 330 million streams on Spotify and Shazam.[58]

"Pillowtalk" debuted atop the US Billboard Hot 100 for the chart issue dated 20 February 2016, becoming the 25th song ever to debut at number one on the chart. This makes him the first UK artist to debut at number one on the Hot 100 with a first charted single, and the third UK act to start at the summit (following Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" and Adele's "Hello"). It also marks the first number one debut for an artist's first Hot 100 entry since Baauer's "Harlem Shake" (2 March 2013). "Pillowtalk" charted higher than any One Direction single, the highest being number two for "Best Song Ever" in 2013. Zayn is the first one-time member of a Hot 100-charting boy band to score a number one with a debut single since George Harrison, the former Beatle who launched with "My Sweet Lord" in 1970.[59] The single's performance propelled Zayn to number six on the Billboard Artist 100 chart.[60] "Pillowtalk" replaced Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" at the summit of the Hot 100 for one week, before dropping to number seven the following week,[61] and then rebounding to number six for the next five weeks.[62] Following the release of Mind of Mine, "Pillowtalk" rebounded to number four on the Hot 100.[63] It reached the Mainstream Top 40 top spot for the chart issue dated 7 May 2016, surpassing One Direction's number-three peak (with "What Makes You Beautiful" in 2012).[64] Zayn is the first former boy band member to top the Mainstream Top 40 with a debut entry since former Menudo member Ricky Martin's "Livin' la Vida Loca" in 1999.[65]

In the United States, "Pillowtalk" sold 267,000 copies in its first week, along with 22.3 million streams, the fourth-largest streaming start ever, opening atop the Digital Songs and Streaming Songs charts;[59] it also debuted at number one on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart, with 12.7 million on-demand streams.[59] It garnered 5.9 million in all-format radio audience in the first three days of the Hot 100's airplay tracking week,[66] and boasted 17 million in radio audience for the week.[59] It was the year's second biggest first-week seller.[67] "Pillowtalk" had the fastest airplay gain on radio in its second week, when it gained 64% on the Radio Songs chart with 29 million audience impressions,[61] and had 16.9 million streams that week,[61] followed by 17.4 million streams and 38 million audience impressions in its third week,[62] 46 million audience impressions in the fourth week,[68] and 17.2 million streams[69] and 53 million audience impressions the fifth week.[70] It became the top Airplay Gainer in its sixth week, with a 21 percent gain to 65 million audience impressions,[71] followed by 69 million audiences impressions in its seventh week,[72] and 17 million streams in its eighth week.[63] By June 2016, it had sold 1.288 million in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[73]

Music video

Synopsis

 
American model Gigi Hadid appears in the music video

Directed by Bouha Kazmi, the accompanying music video for "Pillowtalk" premiered on YouTube on 29 January 2016. Gigi Hadid and Zayn appear in the clip, which features retro graphics, kaleidoscopic and shattered-mirror effects.[13][74] The music video finds Zayn navigating a sexual fantasia, with a flower covering a mysterious woman's genitals and female silhouettes ogling each other, the former played by actress Jodie Turner-Smith.[75] Hadid appears swirling around the singer, hypnotises him and eventually provokes technicolour tears.[76] They navigate a kaleidoscopic dreamscape,[77] where they make out, make up and cry black tears as Zayn sings.[28]

Reception

Forbes's contributor Hugh McIntyre praised the visuals, writing "The dripping, trippy visuals match the rock and roll energy of the song perfectly, with the viewer spending as much time with guitars being smashed as they do with Zayn crying black tears."[26] For Lily Harrison from E! Online the video "it's not only extremely seductive, but it's very artistic,"[78] while Erica Gonzales from Harper's Bazaar wrote "the visuals are dark yet psychedelic."[79] Lucas Villa of AXS commented "The debut clip seems to reflect the singer's artsy side. The action here is not as steamy between the two as the song suggests but it's still a NSFW video."[41] Time's Nolan Feeney thought "Zayn seems determined to break with his boy-band image."[22] The music video topped the UK TV Airplay Chart,[80] and reached number two on the Israel TV airplay chart.[81] Online, the video received more than 25 million views in three days,[57] and 247 million views after one month.[82] As of September 2020, it has received over 1 billion views on YouTube.[83]

EditAfter signing a recording deal with RCA Records 3 Zayn gave several interviews with music magazines such as The Fader and Billboard to talk about his debut record He stated life experiences have been the influences for the album and just stuff that I ve been through especially in the last five years He said the record will musically lean towards R amp B but will also have some tunes leaning towards R amp B rock or reggae 4 Zayn s solo debut album Mind of Mine 5 was released on 25 March 2016 6 On 24 January 2016 Zayn revealed the release date and promotional cover art of the lead single Pillowtalk through Twitter 7 It is Zayn s debut solo single after he left One Direction in March 2015 8 Zayn wrote the song shortly after leaving the group in collaboration with co writers Mike and Anthony Hannides 9 Speaking about his new single with The Sunday Times Zayn said that Pillowtalk was written about sex which he described as so pure so dirty and raw adding everybody has sex and it s something people wanna hear about It s part of everybody s life a very big part of life And you don t want to sweep it under the carpet 10 11 The song was inspired about and written shortly before he split from his ex fiance Little Mix s Perrie Edwards 12 Subsequently Pillowtalk was made available for digital download in most countries worldwide via the iTunes Store on 29 January 2016 13 It achieved worldwide success by topping the charts in a variety of markets with combined sales and track equivalent streams of 8 million units according to IFPI Remix EditAn acoustic version of the

after Zayn s rap sing verse to Wayne s bridge recapping the original chorus line from Zayn Its our paradise and its our war zone twice 17 18 An alternate version of the remix was leaked in May 2016 19 This version replaced Zayn s rap sing verse with a verse from Tory Lanez It is not an official remix The original version of Pillowtalk has been included in the compilation album Now That s What I Call Music 93 20 Composition and lyrical interpretation Edit Pillowtalk is about sex there is obviously sex in a relationship though its not the whole incentive of the song The actual intent of the song is even though you have great times in a relationship you have really bad times as well but that s what makes it worthwhile because you learn things and you go through experiences that bring you closer together Zayn in an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show 21 Pillowtalk is an R amp B slow jam 13 22 being the genre showcased in form of alternative R amp B 23 24 25 Also described as a downtempo electronic 26 it features a smooth pop R amp B production 27 and heavy beats 28 According to music critics the song represents a change from the mainly pop influences of his previous releases as a boyband member 26 27 Pillowtalk was written in common time in the key of B major with a moderate tempo of 126 beats per minute 29 The verses center around the chords of E major and F major with the vocal melody in the verses being pentatonic Zayn s vocal performance makes use of ad libs at points using triplets against the prevailing tempo The song demonstrates Zayn s tenor vocal range particularly with the chorus 30 Its lyrics discuss the way that love and passion can turn abruptly into recklessness 31 described by The Guardian as a theatrical interpretation of intimacy and romance 32 Zayn uses billowy vocals and buttery voice in the song 33 He goes from soft lines in the pre chorus I love to wake up next to you 11 to explicit content in the chorus in the bed all day fucking and fighting on It s a paradise and it s a war zone he sings about the pain that comes with being lovers 33 Pillowtalk the living room session features Malik s vocals with an acoustic guitar backing 14 Pillowtalk Remix is a hip hop remix that features rapping by Lil Wayne as well as rapping and rap singing by Zayn 17 18 while the beats and melody have also been reworked to a hip hop style with additional hip hop producer Jaegen 34 Critical reception Edit Pillowtalk received highly positive reviews from music critics for its production and Zayn s vocals Writing for Forbes Hugh McIntyre commented the song is decidedly grown up complete with plenty of x rated words and adult imagery and themes This isn t another simple tune about broken hearts it s about love being both a paradise and a warzone The song may be about similar situations but Zayn is feeling or expressing things differently now 26 Fuse s Jason Lipshutz described Pillowtalk as a sexy engrossing R amp B track 35 Brennan Carley of Spin praised the lyrics and Zayn s vocals stating he demonstrates a mastery on modern R amp B within seconds There s passion in his voice an instrument unencumbered and unshaven for the first time 36 For The Guardian s Harriet Gibsone it is a slow minimalist and lusty explosion of testosterone a fountain of champagne and dodgy aftershave It is a deliberate and understandable step into a more austere artistic guise 32 The Guardian chose Pillowtalk as their pick of the week stating that against all odds Zayn Malik s debut single is shockingly good 37 The Irish Times also chose it as their track of the week describing it as slick and nouveau R amp B like Miguel with a blogwave backing 38 For Stereogum Tom Breihan called it a sleek immaculately constructed piece of moody 39 In Digital Spy Lewis Corner gave the song four out of five stars writing Zayn s clear vocal tone at its very best on this along with a big chorus and brain niggling melody keeps it sexy and fun without being sordid He musically compared the seductive R amp B track to The Weeknd s sounds and Justin Timberlake s early solo work and concluded it isn t the same old pop shit but the new British male superstar you hadn t realised you ve been waiting for 40 Lucas Villa of AXS wrote that the song might not be Zayn s Justin Timberlake Cry Me a River breakthrough just yet but it s a sweet something that will surely satisfy his older fans in the meanwhile 41 Brittany Spanos in Rolling Stone called it a smooth sexy pop song 42 Joe Lynch of Billboard noted that the song drops One Direction s MOR pop for the more critically respected PBR amp B 23 Another Billboard review wrote that Malik has left bubblegum pop behind and from here on it s slick R amp B 13 Alex Abad Santos of Vox found that the topic contains shopworn cliches making the song feel like it s marketed and packaged for young ears but concluded Zayn s billowy swirling vocals sell it so well that Pillowtalk becomes something better than it first set out to be 33 Christopher Weingarten in Rolling Stone wrote there s nothing particularly special about his single and found the lyrics awkward but concluded the song may be important for R amp B s future as it proves that the watery sound of alternative leaning R amp B has way more legs than the cult of personality built around the Weeknd 25 Newsweek said the track has an epic crashing chorus that s raunchy and romantic in equal measure with jazzy electronic elements that don t overpower the 23 year old s formidable vocal chops 43 AllMusic said the song features his strong vocals over distinctly more adult themed alt R amp B similar to The Weeknd and Miguel 44 Magdalen Jenne of PopMatters said Pillowtalk is hands down the best pop single of 2016 so far 45 Rolling Stone named Pillowtalk one of the 30 best songs of the first half of 2016 writing Like his AWOL boy band forefathers Zayn Malik decided to use R amp B and sex appeal to launch his post One Direction This Number One hit is a smooth seductive lover s croon 46 Billboard ranked Pillowtalk at number 37 on their 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016 list 47 Spin staff ranked it as the 16th best boy band solo debut single 48 Chart performance Edit Pillowtalk debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart 49 with 112 497 sales and about 4 972 million streams for the week 50 Its subsequent UK sales were 82 264 copies in its second week 51 71 578 copies in the third week 52 58 732 copies the fourth week 53 and 49 604 copies the fifth week 54 Overseas it debuted at number one in Ireland and Australia where it is the year s first song to enter at the top of the singles chart 55 and it debuted at number one on the Finland download chart 56 It also debuted at number one in Canada Greece

navigating a sexual fantasia with a flower covering a mysterious woman s genitals and female silhouettes ogling each other the former played by actress Jodie Turner Smith 75 Hadid appears swirling around the singer hypnotises him and eventually provokes technicolour tears 76 They navigate a kaleidoscopic dreamscape 77 where they make out make up and cry black tears as Zayn sings 28 Reception Edit Forbes s contributor Hugh McIntyre praised the visuals writing The dripping trippy visuals match the rock and roll energy of the song perfectly with the viewer spending as much time with guitars being smashed as they do with Zayn crying black tears 26 For Lily Harrison from E Online the video it s not only extremely seductive but it s very artistic 78 while Erica Gonzales from Harper s Bazaar wrote the visuals are dark yet psychedelic 79 Lucas Villa of AXS commented The debut clip seems to reflect the singer s artsy side The action here is not as steamy between the two as the song suggests but it s still a NSFW video 41 Time s Nolan Feeney thought Zayn seems determined to break with his boy band image 22 The music video topped the UK TV Airplay Chart 80 and reached number two on the Israel TV airplay chart 81 Online the video received more than 25 million views in three days 57 and 247 million views after one month 82 As of September 2020 update it has received over 1 billion
