There are no two ways about it: The “Love Like This” described in Zayn Malik’s first single from 2023 is a deep one.
From the get-go, the lyrics hint at some serious loyalty between Zayn and his love interest. “I love it when you show, when you show, when you show that you got my back / If they ever try to roll, try to roll, try to roll on your name I black,” he sings in the opening two lines. The chorus then goes on to speak about falling deeper and putting his heart on the line more than he’d normally do, with the lyrics, “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.”

As for who exactly Malik is referring to in the song, at the time of writing, he’s kept that particular detail close to his chest. In fact, in his “Call Her Daddy” interview, he seemed to glaze over the question completely, pointing out instead that he’d been working on an album and describing the single as “just a summer jam.” However, there’s no doubt that it is about someone special. After all, as he explained of his newest work in the interview, “It’s got some, like, more, narrative going on, like real life experiences and stuff.” Talk about keeping fans on the edge of their seats!
