Zayn Malik announces first single in two years a day after baby birth news

Zayn Malik has released his new track Better just one day after announcing that he had welcomed a baby girl with Gigi Hadid.

The 27-year-old former One Direction singer took to social media on Thursday evening to unveil the artwork and video for his latest music.

In the two posts that Zayn shared with his 29.5 Twitter followers, the British heartthrob unveiled the black and white artwork and produced a link to the track – his first in two years.

Zayn’s new single comes just one day after the first time dad and his girlfriend Gigi confirmed they had welcomed a baby together.

On Thursday, the doting new parents sent social media into meltdown when they confirmed the birth alongside two adorable pictures.

“The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.

“Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x.”
