Los Angeles: Demo of singer Zayn Malik's first song I Won't Mind, post his departure from band One Direction, has been released.

The song is a collaboration between Zayn and Naughty Boy and its demo was posted by the British producer on his SoundCloud page. (Also Read: I Made the Right Decision, Says Zayn Malik on Quitting One Direction)



"There is nothing but love for what was left behind. That's why we don't mind. #2016 #zaughty #zindabad," he added in the Soundcloud description. (Also Read: Zayn Malik Abandons One Direction Tour After 'Stress,' Perhaps Fuelled by Social Media)

The #2016 hashtag apparently hints at the year the finished version of the track will be released.

I Won't Mind is a slow-tempo ballad on which Zayn sings over the simple but beautiful acoustic guitar. "We are who we are when no one's watching/And right from the start, you know I got you," he croons.

Naughty Boy started hinting at his collaboration with Zayn earlier this year. Most recently, he promoted it by retweeting a bizarre video made by a fan while One Direction fans were still saddened by Zayn's departure from the band.

Another member of the boy band, Louis Tomlinson, then called him "inconsiderate" on Twitter and asked him to "grow up".
