Zayn Malik has hinted that his upcoming album focuses on how he fell out of love with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards.

The two singers were engaged for two years, but they split up in 2015.

Speaking to Complex, the former One Direction man said his debut record 'Mind of Mine' features lyrics about love fizzling out.

He said: "There’s a lot of falling in love and a lot of falling out of love. It’s probably 60/40, falling out of love.

"I feel like you get creative with things when you can be honest. Whether that’s positive or negative, it can work both ways.

"If you’re in a really good place, you can write a really good, upbeat song. When you’re in a s**t place you can write a downbeat f*****g ballad!

"That’s just the way it is. But I feel like you can draw good creative things from both."

Malik is now dating model Gigi Hadid, who appeared in his 'Pillowtalk' video below:

'Mind of Mine' will be released on March 25.
