    You can tell he does this because he wants to express himself. He does it because he’s passionate about his music. He doesn’t do it for the money and the fame, or the awards he does does it so other people can relate. It’s just so humble.

    Tightrope is inspired by his desi side. Desi means relative to subcontinential countries like India or Pakistan. Cuz he's half Pakistani and grew up with Bollywood (Indian film industry) movies or music and Pakistani old Qawwalis, he has that feel in his music and vocal styles that makes him stand out from the other West singers. For example, the runs that he does when he's singing live. I'm talking bout one of those runs like 'I give everything that I got from your Loooooo-uhaAaAaaaauve (love)' 😂😂 I know i can't sing for shit but even I can do those runs easily cuz that's our style of music and we grew up listening to that 😂 The 'reverse' lyrics were actually urdu lyrics from an old bollywood song 'Chaudwien ka Chaand' and the whole song kinda has the same melody of it. The writer of this song told us that Z added the 'something told me it was you' part and that's the most desi part in it after the urdu lyrics ofc. Thats why it feels different to y'all and its most of y'all's favourite cuz its a completely new and different style for you guys. You should react to his cover of Allah Duhai hai, a bollywood song. He killed that with his vocals. It got more views than the original song and yt (or the production team for the actual song ) had to remove it thru copyright twice. 🙄 His pronounciation has improved a lot since and us desis want him to do more stuff like that so bad!

    Tightrope is heavily influenced by desi music. And the "reversed" part is actually him singing in a language called Hindi or Urdu. It's sampled it from an old Bollywood song from the 60s called Chaudvin ka Chand, which means the moon on the 14th day of the month, i.e. a full moon. The lyrics he's singing roughly translate to "Are you the full moon, or the sun? Whatever you are, I swear to God, you are beyond compare!" I'll try to romanize it for you: "chaudveen kaa chaand ho ya aaftaab ho? Jo bhi ho, khudaa ki kasam, laajavaab ho." Your videos are amazing btw, much love! X

    i actually love all Zayn's songs as they are, without there being too many hooks and where it is just him doing spoken word. Its what makes him so unique, because he adds a twist to the production of a beat and melody that although doesnt take after the traditional markers of a hype song sounds just as good (even better, if i say so myself). It's fair to assume that he gets a lot of his inspiration from other music, and it is sooo cool seeing him play with instrumentation and different melodies that are inspired from different genres and see them morph into something more resonant with his music tastes and ideas. I might just be biased as a Pakistani-Canadian who loves R&B but I truly think Zayn is the best that happened to the industry.

    Hey Blake
    So, the lyric that you felt was in reverse, was actually a hindi lyric from a famous old song in India 'Chaudhvin ka Chand'. Basically, by singing that lyric, he was going to back to his roots.
    And seriously, singers need to sign Blake as their producer, he has just so much potential and will 100% produce a hit for the person, he is producing for. !
