One Direction drops new single after Zayn Malik signs with new record label

It looks like One Direction and Zayn Malik have officially moved on from each other after the band released their first song without their former band mate.

Last night around 1 A.M., Liam Payne tweeted a “bit of a surprise,” when he gave the iTunes link to the bands new song “Drag Me Down.”

The song has already hit the top charts on iTunes and shows no sign of slowing down.

According to Billboard, the new track was released around the same time that Malik signed with a new record label.

With Simon Cowels blessing, Malik plans to begin his solo career with Turn First Artists management and RCA Records.

The singer even expressed his excitement on Twitter about showing the world his true self and “#realmusic.”

As for One Direction, they are excited to release their fifth album in November and “Drag Me Down” is just a sneak peak of their new style.

The new single has more of an EDM vibe, but still stays true the One Direction sound.
