British singer Zayn Malik’s new album Nobody Is Listening surprised fans as he touched back to his Pakistani roots with a song which included Urdu lyrics.

The Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker, who broke away from boyband One Direction five years ago, featured a song in his album called Tightrope.

He paid homage to his desi roots as it included qawwali-inspired tunes as well as some Urdu lyrics floating in the background.

As the song reached outro, the 28-year-old can be heard belting out some lyrics from Bollywood musician Mohammed Rafi's iconic 1960s song Chaudhvin Ka Chand.

Needless to say, fans had to do a double-take to make sure that their ears did not deceive them.
