Fans can't keep calm as singer Zayn Malik is back on the music scene with ‘Better’, the lead single from his yet-to-be-titled third studio album. This marks his first major release since his 2018 sophomore album 'Icarus Falls'.

Earlier on September 23, the singer teased his fans when he posted a snippet of the song on his Twitter, before the official release of the song on September 25. The teaser opens with calm music and oozes a vintage look. As the 14-second teaser ends, it shows Zayn flaunting his chiseled body donning a snazzy look with denim jeans. Zayn’s tweet comes with a link to the video premiere. This was enough to enthrall fans who have been eagerly waiting for the song's release.

An excited fan wrote ahead of the song's release, "BETTER BY ZAYN is not just a song, it is a cultural reset, the oxygen you breathe, it's a lifestyle, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves, its an art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted." Another wrote, "I HAVEN'T HEARD IT YET BUT BETTER BY ZAYN IS ALREADY MY FAVORITE SONG." A fan wrote, "BETTER BY ZAYN IS A F*****G MASTERPIECE AND YOU CAN’T SAY I’M WRONG.” 

A user wrote praising the song, "ZAYN MALIK STOLE MY HEART WITH HIS NEW SINGLE. ‘BETTER’ BY ZAYN MALIK." Another concurred, “My life is ‘BETTER’ because of zayn malik. and that's it." Another fan wrote about how the song touched him. "SOMETHING ABOUT WATCHING ZAYN GET DRESSED UP TO GO SAVE HIS LOVE FROM ANOTHER HEARTBREAK IN A DIM LIGHT SETTING IS VERY INTIMATE TO ME. Zayn Malik THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ART SIR. BETTER BY ZAYN IS HERE AND BETTER THAN I EVER EXPECTED."

If you haven’t already gone through the lyrics of the song, then head here, here it is: "Hope I only leave good vibes on your living room floor/ It hurts so bad that I didn't when you asked for more/ Your dad probably loves me more than he ever did now/ 'Cause I finally got up /Yeah, we're finally knocked down." The song continues to reflect on love, "Yeah, sometimes it's better that way/ Gotta let it go so your heart don't break/ 'Cause I love you’ Yeah, baby, I love you/ Just this one time hear what I'm tryna say/ Know you might not feel quite the same way/ But I love you/ I tell you, I love you.”
