In his first interview for six years, Zayn Malik has opened up on the reasons behind One Direction's break up. Ahead of his comeback single 'Love Like This' being released July 21, the singer-songwriter sat down with podcast host Alex Cooper in the latest episode of Call Her Daddy.
During the episode, the 30-year-old spoke about being a dad, writing songs and his time in one of Britain's biggest boy bands. Malik announced that he would be leaving One Direction back in 2015, five years after the band first came together on ITV's The X Factor.
The four remaining members - Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne - put out their final album Made In The A.M., before calling it quits in 2016. In the interview with Cooper, Malik recalled leaving the group and the moment he knew it was his time to go.
