    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.
