Songfacts®:

  • "Love Like This" is a pop and drum-and-bass song where Zayn sings about diving into a new relationship, casting aside all reservations and doubts.

    I guess that's love like this
    Usually, I never wanna jump like this
    But I think I wanna dump my chips 'cause
    I cannot go back


    Zayn's affection burns bright, an all-consuming flame. He cannot envision life without his beloved by his side.
  • Zayn wrote the sultry ode to love with producers Jon Bellion and the Monsters & Strangerz (Jordan K. Johnson and Stefan Johnson), alongside Michael Pollack.

    New York rapper/producer Jon Bellion, New York songwriter Michael Pollack and The Monsters & Strangerz production team have worked together on several previous occasions, including Maroon 5's "Memories," Miley Cyrus' "Prisoner" and Justin Bieber's "Anyone."
  • "Love Like This" is Zayn's first single in over two years. It was released on July 21, 2023, marking his debut single under Mercury Records after RCA dropped him from the label in October 2021.
  • The song is a departure from Zayn's previous R&B sound. It's more upbeat, fusing pop with liquid drum-and-bass and British garage.
  • The Ivanna and Frank Borin-directed video finds Zayn zooming around New York City on a motorbike while he woos his love interest. The girl is played by Myanmar-born actress Grace Dumdaw. She is best known for playing Alicia in the crime thriller series The Blacklist and Young Miko in Netflix's The Watcher.
  • Zayn collaborated with electronic producer and songwriter Mura Masa (ASAP Rocky, Stormzy, Charli XCX) for a remix of "Love Like This."
