Songfacts®:

  • Zayn wrote this slow and sensual song about Gigi Hadid, who is his girlfriend and the mother of their daughter. During the dreamy R&B infused track, he anticipates getting it on with Gigi.

    I've been waiting all night to get closer
    And you already know I got it for ya


    And assures her he'll take things at her own pace.

    If we're movin' too fast, we can slow up
    Baby, this far from mediocre, no
  • Zayn first met model Gigi Hadid in late 2015 on the set of his "Pillowtalk" music video. They started an on-off-on relationship that was cemented in September 2020 when Hadid gave birth to their daughter.
