Background Zayn sung and wrote one of the songs, "wRoNg", in collaboration with American R&B singer and songwriter Kehlani. According to Malik, he "reached out to [them], played a couple of songs for [them] in L.A. and [they]'re really cool, [they] liked the music, so [they] got in the studio within a couple of days, [they] gave me a song back that [they] wanted me to do, and we just got it done straight away." Malik originally wrote "wRoNg" as a rap, which he then used to create lyrics for the song. "wRoNg" is about "looking in the wrong place for love". "wRoNg" incorporates elements from early 2000s R&B music.
