- Publish date: since hour
British singer and former One Direction member, Zayn Malik, talked about racism in the teaser for his upcoming track 'Fuschia Sea'.
The singer released the teaser on Saturday, July 6, on his social media, and a line from the track has gone viral.
The verse is, "I worked hard in a White band, and they still laughed at the Asian." He is talking about his experiences while working with One Direction.
Fans online are appreciating Malik opening up, with one fan saying, "From being laughed at for ur identify to rapping it with power...daz the kind of revolution we really needed ZAYN."
This marks a notable shift in Malik’s solo artistry, continuing a path of introspection initiated with tracks like "Alienated" from Room Under the Stairs.
Now, he’s venturing into more provocative territory, using “Fuchsia Sea” as a medium to directly articulate his lived experience. It’s unfiltered, defiant, and unquestionably personal.
What’s Next?
Zayn has tagged the teaser with “coming soon,” but offered no firm release date. As anticipation builds, “Fuchsia Sea” is shaping up to be a watershed moment—not just musically, but culturally—by giving a voice to the discrimination he’s previously kept private.
