Zayn was asked if he wanted to contribute a song for the 50 Shades Darker soundtrack. He asked Jack Antonoff who contributed the music and who suggested he ask Taylor if she'd like to collaborate too. Taylor had already heard Jack's music and loved it and quickly agreed on the collaboration. She wrote the lyrics and melody and sang the duet with Zayn. This wasn't Zayn's song but, it was his project. He was the impetus for the collab.
... What? Taylor had been working with Jack Antonoff 2 years before this song came out in 2016 on 1989 tracks from at least 2014. While it may have been a Zayn project...he doesn't even write on the song... So no. He didn't write verses or anything like that.
@@emmavink Yes, that's what I said. I just made a point of clarifying the misinformation that existed out there at one time that some people still believe. There was a lot of confusion about why Zayn was being congratulated in interviews for this song when it first came out, that misled people into believing he'd written it. The reason they were congratulating HIM and he accepted those congratulations is because, initially, the producers of 50 shades came to HIM. Therefore it was his project that he brought to Jack and Taylor, to see if they were interested in collaborating. Jack wrote the music. Taylor wrote the melody and lyrics. Zayn simply sang on it.
@@madelinewise8692 Just to be clear, you said in 2016 that Taylor had already "heard" Jack's music and loved it. She hadn't just "heard" Jack's music by 2016... She'd been making music with Jack for two full years before Zayn suggested they all work together on I Don't Wanna Live Forever.
@@emmavink You're misunderstanding. I was referring to the fact that Taylor had already heard the music Jack was working on for Zayn and liked it. Of course she knew Jack from way before. She'd heard the music for what would eventually become I Don't Wanna Live Forever, because Jack had played it for her while she was in studio with him working on her own stuff with him. Zayn mentions that in this interview at the 40 second mark: th-cam.com/video/UvIe_ebXhm4/w-d-xo.html
They never performed this song live together but both performed it alone. Taylor´s performance at Super Saturday Night concert is amazing and has some pretty powerful vocals.
she's done it live on the Super Saturday Night concert (pre -- Super Bowl thing from DirecTV) but without him. When she does duets (like End Game) she usually only does her part of the lyrics when she's live. For this one, though, she's the writer with Jack Antonoff and Sam Dew. Zayn was asked for a song for 50 Shades Darker; he got Taylor to write it (you really can tell from the one note melody line the rises at the end --- classic Swift). I had to look up Sam Dew ---- embarrassed after, his music is good! but not her usual stuff. The video was almost a year before Reputation came out. Also, aside from the music, at that time, Zayn was in a relationship with Gigi Hadid, model and Taylor's friend. Taylor and Zayn had been acquainted for several years.
Actually zayn never performed any of his songs from his album after 2016 . He performed few for his debut album and this year too fro his new album RUTS . But he has an acoustic version of the song it's soooo beautiful.
Have you watched her performance with Fall Out Boy at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show? Her and Patrick together is like the voices of 2 angels. Also, her cover of Carole Kings Will You Love Me Tomorrow at the rock & roll induction is phenomenalllllll. I’d give my soul for it to be on Spotify.
Funny thing is every time I’ve seen Taylor Live this song has been the secret song. If you want to hear Taylor sing this solo and very spiteful I highly recommend listening to it live Eras Tour from Chicago. This song is pre-Reputation. So this song is probably going to be re-recorded for Rep TV. Because this is one of Taylor’s favorites.
Taylor's and Matty's relationship had recently ended during that part of the tour. The look on her face as she sang the lyric "Did I dodge a bullet or did I lose the love of my life?" was so heartbreaking. I wish I could unsee it. She seemed in pain. We didn't know why back then. She really could do it with a broken heart but the pain, anger and sadness on her face was evident during that song.
Taylor did it live and had the crowd to sing with his part.Zayn was with one direction and has some very nice notes.He did some songs and videos with Selena Gomez.But,check out Pillow talk with Gigi Hadid,it should have been in the soundtrack for this movie.We all cant wait for you to play his songs,he is just forgotten about,him and Harry Styles carried that band,You should do some Harry songs as well.love your reactions.
This song screams Taylor. The melody, the turns of phrase, it's also right in the spot where it's effortless for her. Zayn is an impressive vocalist and the harmonies are beautiful ❤️
Hey many thx for checking out Zayn’s music🫶 His musicality is beyond✨ Pls react to his new album ‘Room Under The Stairs’ - he sounds bluesy, rock, a tad country even - his voice range is beyond. Just subbed to your channel🩵
EAS, 2017 concert with my FAVORITE THING, the audience doing the duet/singing with her--first time she sang it live: th-cam.com/video/LO0PBk7qIDI/w-d-xo.html
Check out pillowtalk with his wife Gigi Hadid,he was awesome and the lead in one direction.Taylor performed it and had the crowd singing Zayn's part.Him and Selena have some great songs out also
And this took place after her year, 2016, in hiding after the whole snake kim and kanye incident. This song was either recorded before Reputation came out in 2017 or after.
Sadly, this song gets over looked becaue it was for the soundtrack. They have never done it live together, but Taylor has sang it as a surprise song on Eras Tour.
YIBO YIBO You should watch YIBO's Street Dance of China dancing in the WATER Top dancer in the world, Then Actor. Then Singer, The on honda motorcycle racing team, Movie making, Represents 40 difference brands of products YOU liked him singing --- Try his dancing for a change
Taylor sings it live but not with Zayn. It's alone and he st her and her guitar. I don't know how to post a link. But u can just look up Taylor Swift I don't wanna live forever and it will come up. Or Taylor Swift 50 Shades of grey..,.. she does a great job even if it is alone
Zayn was asked who he wants to be with him on this song and he chose Taylor, after he wrote the lyrics. Then it was sent to Taylor who liked the song immediately and changed some lyrics to it. Zayn spoke about this in the radio. Im so glad they got to work together on such an amazing song ❤ their voices really fit with each other 😍
You might have this link already from someone else but if you don’t here is Taylor’s live performance from Super Saturday Night 2017. Sadly Zayn and Taylor have never performed it together. So this video Is just Taylor and her 🎸 th-cam.com/video/LO0PBk7qIDI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ziaXHJCZ_0Vqeo2f

Why would he do that considering the publishing revenue this song has generated? I think Zayn writes great songs but this isn’t one of them. The lyrics and melody are pure Taylor in sound and structure.
@@musicfangirl7403 lots of evidence of it to back this up ✌🏼 author and director of fifty shades and zayn himself in interviews talks about bringing taylor on to the song.
Taylor has done it live and the crowd chimed in with his part. It's actually cool
Taylor singing this one live just with an acoustic guitar is so good

@@madelinewise8692 ah ok, that makes far more sense. Thank you for the insight 😊
Zayn's voice here is so fkn good he genuinly smashed it ❤❤❤
They sadly didn't perform it together YET. But Zayn has an acoustic version of it and it's amazing, and Taylor has sang it once in concert
My favorite features of zayn of all time are this one with taylor, dusk till dawn with sia and wRoNg with kehlani . Pure art tbh
YES PLS REACT TO ZAYN's ALBUM. He is a genuine masterclass
This song is fire- so cool you figured out it exists! Great reaction!
They never performed this song live together but both performed it alone. Taylor´s performance at Super Saturday Night concert is amazing and has some pretty powerful vocals.
Wow tysm always appreciate your reaction ❤❤ I can't wait to see your reaction of Zayn's album it's an amazing one 😍

Zayn has an amazing acoustic version of this, can't wait to check out your reaction to zayns new album ❤
Taylor’s acoustic performance at Suoer Saturday Night 2017 was amazing
Check out zayns acoustic version...
Tbh I prefer to the acoustic version
One of the best days of my life was seeing her play this on the piano at Eras🥹
Great song and love your reaction!
Actually zayn never performed any of his songs from his album after 2016 . He performed few for his debut album and this year too fro his new album RUTS . But he has an acoustic version of the song it's soooo beautiful.

She has preformed it live
Wonderful reaction! ❤
I hope you also react to Zayn. He’s so underrated but he has a lot of good songs and he is an amazing vocalist!!
Taylor has done it live several times on the eras tour!

You gotta do it like her mama does it. 'TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT!' 😹😹
This song screams Taylor. The melody, the turns of phrase, it's also right in the spot where it's effortless for her. Zayn is an impressive vocalist and the harmonies are beautiful ❤️
I am a huge 50 shades fan….own the movies and the soundtrack cd’s. All this time, I never knew that was Taylor on this song! OMG! Beautiful!
Please react to his new album RUTS..

What a song!!! Please check out Zayn’s acoustic version for even more beautiful vocals 🫶🏽
Taylor has done it as a surprise song several times but a notable one is in Singapore. It's mashed up with Dress and that's a fantastic combo.
I hope you put RUTS on youtube 😭
the EAS channel has a version live! I think there might be an Eras version too. I'll reply to this with links in case the channel filters them out!

You should check out his song it’s you live on the Honda stage it’s so great because Zayn has severe anxiety so he doesn’t do any shows
There's an acoustic version by Zayn and it's different to this,... I highly recommend reacting to that.... It's tooo underrated
Check out pillowtalk with his wife Gigi Hadid,he was awesome and the lead in one direction.Taylor performed it and had the crowd singing Zayn's part.Him and Selena have some great songs out also
Zayn put out an acoustic version of this song 7 years ago. It now has 29m views. I actually like it better, you have to review it.
I feel like You're gonna enjoy Zayn's music so much 🤩U should check him out 🔥
Please please please share the RUTS reaction on here too! Zquad have an upcoming tour to pay for, we’re saving!! 🫣😬😜
And this took place after her year, 2016, in hiding after the whole snake kim and kanye incident. This song was either recorded before Reputation came out in 2017 or after.
More zayn please
fyi, Don't Blame Me, song she wrote, from reputation was also a song for Fifty Shades Darker movie but she begged Warner to keep the song for herself
Do Zayns rendition of this song that he did in studio.
I love Zayn's song Alienated
Make sure you are reacting to taylor version albums.
Great reaction, I think you blushed a little, am I right?😊
React to 14 times Zayn vocals had me shook
Sadly, this song gets over looked becaue it was for the soundtrack. They have never done it live together, but Taylor has sang it as a surprise song on Eras Tour.

Zayn is not a writer on this track at all. Not a verse. It's not like I don't think he's capable... But what you are saying is factually not true...
Zayn did no writing on the song. What you're saying is untrue. Taylor, Jack, and Sam wrote the song. Jack produced it.
If he wrote so much as one line, he would have writers credit. Taylor is very generous in giving credit in her songs. He is not in the credits at all.
Listen dusk till dawn
❤
She did it live at the eras tour as one of the surprise songs. No Zayn though
Here is Taylor’s live solo version of this song. She did really great. th-cam.com/video/LO0PBk7qIDI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cXmagdv0sPl9Ex59
Zayn's acoustic version of this song is much better than the original.
