Zayn Malik congratulates former One Direction bandmates on surprise release of

One Direction have surprised fans by releasing a new single.

One Direction’s Liam Payne has revealed he was “shocked” to hear that bandmate Louis Tomlinson was becoming a father.

In a separate post on his Twitter feed, Payne called the move “a bit of a surprise“.

Zayn has since tweeted about the song, branding it “sick” (in a good way, we assume) and telling his former bandmates he’s “proud” of them. “Have waited a long time but our new single Drag Me Down is out!!”

The newly launched single Drag Me Down will depict a new start to the One Direction which now consists of four artists. He first shared a smile icon followed by saying he wanted his “guys” to have their new melody so they officially brought it online. After Malik’s dramatic exit from the band and his choice to go solo, news broke earlier this month that Tomlinson, 23, is expecting a baby with his friend Briana Jungwirth.

Just two days before, Zayn signed his first solo record deal with RCA Records.

The song also topped the charts in 15 individual countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, United States. “Big love.” What do you think about One Direction’s “Drag Me Down” breaking a Spotify record? However even after the general public split from the pop group, the 22-year-old nonetheless has high praise for his former bandmates.

Malik may have left One Direction, but their bond will never be broken entirely. Louis thanked fans for their “constant support” and said that they were “proud of it”. But his latest tweet proves that all is well again between the former band mates. We’re looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour.’.
