Zayn Malik goes viral for accidental release of MV instead of album

Zayn Malik vowed to make 2026 his year and he is truly keeping up with his promise as the singer is working on multiple projects.

After wrapping up his much-anticipated residency, the 33-year-old singer made a mistake of accidentally sharing the music video of his new song.

The One Direction alum took to his X (formerly Twitter) to share a teaser of his upcoming studio record but ended up sharing the music video on the platform.

He later updated his social media with the teaser and adding a pre-save link to his Instagram story.

Although the clip was taken down immediately, the online community made a joke about the mishap.

One X user shared Bad Bunny’s Grammy winning moment, captioning: “Zayn after accidentally posting the music video instead of album teaser on twitter.”

Another netizen was of the opinion that the singer posted and deleted it “on purpose then switching off his wifi at the farm” in order to create a hype for the project.
