Zayn sent fans into overdrive when he tweeted the lyrics 'He won't love you like I would' on Wednesday night before the release, with many thinking it was either a reference to the One Direction song, while others likened it to Little Mix's Love Me Like You.
One Direction's I Would includes the chorus lyrics: 'Would he please you. Would he kiss you. Would he treat you like I would. Would he touch you. Would he need you. Would he love you like I would.'
Zayn meanwhile croons in his new track's chorus: 'He won't touch you like I do. He won't love you like I would. He don't know your body. He don't do you right He won't love you like I would.'
When they heard the song, some pointed to the similar lyrics, with one tweeter posting: 'Like i would by ZAYN is literally I would by one direction just with dumb 'ah and ohs' and club music in the background.'
