Singer Zayn Malik, who has finally released his highly anticipated debut solo album 'Mind Of Mine', has revealed that he would get easily wound up as a youngster. 

During a new chat with the NME, the heartthrob confessed that his childhood was a fairly tense time as he would find himself feeling affected by things he couldn't control or change: “I seemed to find myself in situations that weren’t necessarily the best situations."

"Getting wound up by stuff people said… I wasn’t sensitive… I hate to get into it because it’s not something that affects my brain any more."

The 'Pillowtalk' hitmaker added: "There was a kind of racial confusion with me. They didn’t really know where to put me. I confused arrogance with ignorance. Certain people don’t want to know certain things and I had to realise I couldn’t teach them.”
