Music Video
Directed by Marc Webb, the accompanying music video for "Dusk Till Dawn" premiered on YouTube on 8 September 2017, receiving over 10 million views on its first day. It is Webb's first music video in seven years. The music video finds Zayn on the run from two different groups, after he makes a sly hand-off with his mysterious accomplice played by actress Jemima Kirke. Soon after a brief confrontation, Zayn outwits the law and escapes a pair of gangsters in an intense car chase and eventually lures both parties into a trap and drives off into the sunset with Kirke. Sia does not appear in the music video. The video was inspired by the movies Casino and Goodfellas. According to ZAYN, "It’s definitely a nod to a particular era of music videos. The early '90s, around that period, people really tried to make these epic, intense movies for their videos, Michael Jackson being a great example of that. I wanted to come back and give my fans something along those lines rather than just some blasé video.
Notes
This sultry powerhouse duet features vocals by Zayn and co-writer Sia. Both singers croon about a loyal and loving relationship. The song was produced by Greg Kurstin, the man behind hits for the likes of Kelly Clarkson ("What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)") and Adele ("Hello"). Kurstin has also worked with Sia before, including on her US chart-topper "Cheap Thrills." The cinematic music video was directed by Marc Webb, whose credits include the features films (500) Days of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man. The clip finds Zayn Malik transporting a suitcase filled with money through city streets before getting involved in a car chase and an explosive climax. His co-star is Jemima Kirke, best known for her role as Jessa Johansson on the HBO series Girls. Zayn told The Fader that he'd already done "the majority" of the track, before he played it to Sia. The Aussie songstress then asked to be part of it. The pair recorded their parts separately, rather than together in the studio. The song was included on the Japanese edition of Zayn's second studio album, Icarus Falls.
