Zayn Unveils Intimate New Single "Sideways" from Forthcoming Album Konnakol
Zayn has released "Sideways," a soulful R&B track from his upcoming album, Konnakol, reflecting on lost love and showcasing his continued evolution as an artist.
Zayn has gifted fans with a new single, “Sideways,” a deeply personal R&B offering from his highly anticipated album, Konnakol, slated for release on April 17 via Mercury Records.
The track delves into themes of longing and lost romance, with Zayn singing: “I miss lookin’ at you sideways/Face to face with your lips on mine/And our legs on the pillowcase/Sideways, late at night, with your love lying next to mine.”

Konnakol follows Zayn's 2024 album, Room Under the Stairs, a stripped-back project created in collaboration with Dave Cobb. Prior to “Sideways,” Zayn released “Die for Me,” as the album's lead single last month. Konnakol is co-produced by Zayn and Malay, with whom he previously worked on Mind of Mine and Icarus Falls.
"'Konnakol,’ in its definition, is the act of creating percussive sounds with one’s voice, but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper. It is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed,” Zayn explained in a statement. “I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music, this album is a development of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go.”
To support the release of Konnakol, Zayn will embark on a 31-date global tour, commencing on May 12 at AO Arena in Manchester, England. The tour will visit cities including London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, before concluding on November 20 in Miami at Kaseya Center.
Zayn joins fellow One Direction members in releasing new music this year. Louis Tomlinson released How Did I Get Here? in January, featuring the single “Imposter.” Harry Styles also released Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., and recently appeared on Saturday Night Live to promote the album.
