Multi-platinum artist ZAYN has announced his highly anticipated new album CONTINUES will be released on April 17 via Mercury Records.
Fans won’t have to wait too long to hear some of this new music either, as the global star has confirmed that the lead single, ‘Die For Me’, will be released on Friday (February 6).
CONTINUES is ZAYN’s most culturally inspired project to date. The pop-forward album expands on the sound fans first heard on his record-breaking debut studio album, Mind of Mine. The snow leopard, a profound symbol of South Asia, on the album cover shows how deeply his heritage has inspired the record.

ZAYN recently wrapped up a seven-night residency in Las Vegas, where he debuted and teased unreleased material from his upcoming album. The fans got to see the snow leopard pictures at the end of the concert, much to their delight. Now the album cover Easter egg comes full circle and kick-starts what looks to be the artist’s most exciting work to date.

Talking about the new album ZAYN saying, “It’s that time again, I’ve been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album… CONTINUES in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one’s voice, but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper. It is a sound that holds the reverberations of a time before words existed. I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music, this album is an evolution of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go.”
CONTINUES marks ZAYN’s fifth solo studio album and is the follow-up to 2024’s Room Under the Stairs. Most recently, he teamed up with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo on ‘Eyes Closed’, which received an iHeartRadio Music Award 2026 nomination for Favorite K-Pop Collaboration.
CONTINUES available for pre-order now.
