Clearly proud of his latest work, he simply captioned the image with '#MindOfMine 25.3.16' - the date of release.

The latest post comes as the singer released a teaser of his latest single, which has been dubbed the 'Perrie Edwards break-up track.'

Naturally, the blonde bombshell cast to play Zayn's former fiancee in the new music video for It's You bears an alarming resemblance to the Little Mix stunner.

A 15-second teaser shared on Thursday at midnight sees actress Nicola Peltz, 21, capturing Zayn's attention from across a crowded room, and the likeness to his last ex is uncanny.

Yikes: Zayn Malik has chosen a platinum beauty Nicola Peltz to star in his latest music video It's You, instead of current girlfriend Gigi Hadid

With beautiful doe-eyes and glossy platinum locks, 21-year-old Transformers: Age Of Extinction star Nicola seems to have been positioned especially for her strikingly similar look.

Instead of his current girlfriend Gigi Hadid - who famously starred in the video for Zayn's debut solo track Pillowtalk - the object of the singer's affections is platinum beauty Nicola.

The track has already been linked to Perrie because in the lyrics he can be heard calling out a former flame's 'lies' and 'selfishness'.

He sings: 'She got her own reason for talking to me. She don’t give a f*** about what I need', the lyrics read. 'Tell me your lies because I just can’t face it'.

He also asks: 'Could it be that it’s a lesson that I never had to learn? I looked at it like a blessing and now it’s just a curse.'

The 23-year-old former One Direction singer follows up his racy track with a romantic, black and white film to accompany the latest single, a slow vocally-challenging ballad.

Bearing a striking resemblance to Gigi, as well as Zayn's lost love Perrie, actress Nicola is seen glamorously dressed in a ball gown with her glossy tresses refined in waves.

Meanwhile, Zayn is sharp-suited in a black tux, his hair returned to its natural raven colour, watching enviously as Nicola receives attention from another man. 

The actress also shared a 12-second clip to her own social media page, that shows her floating over to an empty vintage car in slow motion as part of the music video.

Zayn's decision to feature a different girl in his latest video may strike some fans as unusual since Gigi's appearance in his debut solo material helped him some way to bagging its 134M views.

When explicit track Pillowtalk was paired with the similarly racy visual accompaniment, viewers went wild for the couple's natural, on-screen chemistry.

For some, it was also a first glimpse at their steamy relationship following brief sightings in the States once they'd confirmed their relationship.

Zayn first hinted that Perrie would come up in the new album Mind Of Mine when he revealed to DJ Zane Lowe that he was still engaged when he penned some of the tracks.

Broadcaster Zane insisted: ‘There’s a song on the record called It’s You which is to me I can tell a real centre-piece for the album. Vocally certainly.’

Later adding: ‘It’s about the break-up of your relationship, clearly,’ without any argument from the singer Zayn.
