Background
Zayn sung and wrote one of the songs, "Wrong", in collaboration with American R&B singer and songwriter Kehlani.[1] According to Malik, he "reached out to her, played a couple of songs for her in L.A. and she's really cool, she liked the music, so she got in the studio within a couple of days, she gave me a song back that she wanted me to do, and we just got it done straight away."[2] Malik originally wrote "Wrong" as a rap, which he then used to create lyrics for the song. "Wrong" is about "looking in the wrong place for love".[3] "Wrong" incorporates elements from early 2000s R&B music.[4]

"Wrong" was serviced to US rhythmic contemporary radio stations on 7 June 2016 as the third single.[5] It later impacted US urban contemporary radio on 28 June 2016.[6] It is expected to be released soon in the United Kingdom.[7]
