"There You Are" is an upbeat pop song that was compared to material released during his time in One Direction. However, the platform version of the album that features the edited version replaces the f-word with "individual". Despite there being a censored version of the album, "Common" is still explicit and features the f-word in the track once on the CD format. Opening track and lead single "Let Me" is an upbeat pop and R&B track featuring "a slick, easygoing production" as well as "buoyant throwback synths, finger snaps and strumming guitar". Many people assume that Zayn could be using the title as a metaphor for how he feels he "escaped" from One Direction, but the ensuing scrutiny from the media over his relationships and career was too much, and caused him to step away from the spotlight. He recalls the story of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, and compares it to the ups and downs of his relationship. Icarus Falls is a concept album inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus. In early 2018, Malik revealed snippets of clips from the album on Instagram, captioned with "Taster z2". Even though the album is pretty much there, and I have the material, I'm still changing things here and there. That's why the album date hasn't really come yet. Speaking about why the album was delayed, Zayn said:Įvery day I find another song that I'm swapping out with another one. In November 2017, Malik stated that the album was "90 percent completed", and would include Timbaland as one of its producers. The CEO of RCA Records, Peter Edge, said the album would consist of a "more optimistic tone to it after coming through that more challenging time", referring to Malik's time as a member of One Direction. Icarus Falls was originally scheduled to be released in 2017. In August 2020, Zayn also added " Still Got Time" featuring PartyNextDoor and "Dusk Till Dawn" featuring Sia to the album tracklist. The Japanese version of the album features the previously released singles, " Still Got Time", featuring PartyNextDoor, and " Dusk Till Dawn", featuring Sia. Icarus Falls received generally positive reception from critics, and peaked at 61 on the US Billboard 200 and 77 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was preceded by the release of six singles: " Let Me", " Entertainer", " Sour Diesel", " Too Much", featuring Timbaland, " Fingers", and " No Candle No Light", featuring Nicki Minaj. Icarus Falls is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Zayn, released on 14 December 2018 as a double album by RCA Records.
