“Pillowtalk” by Zayn
Pillowtalk focuses on sexual intimacy between the singer and his partner while outlining its typical contradictions. The singer uses vivid lyrics to describe the intimate moments he shares with his partner while acknowledging the fact that there are times when they are on opposing sides.
For instance, in the first verse and pre-chorus, the artist contrasts light with darkness, pain with pleasure and pure with dirt to signify the different feelings their intimacy connotes. He goes on to state that he’s not in for a one-night affair but actually loves being close and waking up to his partner.
He recognizes that although their romance can be extremely enjoyable, there are moments when they disagree with each other. Nonetheless, he is committed to embracing their imperfections and enjoying their intimacy because of the strong bond they share.
Zayn in an interview with The Sunday Times explained that the song is focused on sex since it is something that everybody can relate to; hence his intention was to be plain about the subject.
