When asked “What’s next for you?” Zayn replied, “Hopefully new music … I’m in the studio at the minute working on the second record.”

He added that fans can expect “exciting stuff.”

“I’m enjoying what I’m doing at the minute,” Zayn said during another recent interview on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. “There were times when I was in [One Direction] that I needed time away to get my thoughts. I feel myself growing every day as a person, growing older and wiser.”
