Multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, producer and philanthropist ZAYN releases his brand new single, ‘Die For Me’, the lead track from his highly anticipated fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, due out 17 April via Mercury Records / Island Records UK.
‘Die For Me’ marks the return of ZAYN’s pop and R&B roots and is accompanied by a music video conceptualised by ZAYN and directed by Frank Borin and Ivanna Borin. The video follows ZAYN through a series of visually distinct environments that complement the mood and themes of the song.
Earlier this week, ZAYN announced his fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, set for release on 17 April 2026 and available for pre-order now. The project is his most culturally inspired to date, expanding on the pop-forward sound first introduced on his record-breaking debut album, Mind of Mine.
The album artwork features a snow leopard — a profound symbol in South Asia — reflecting how deeply ZAYN’s heritage has shaped the record. Fans first spotted the imagery at the end of each Las Vegas concert, with the artwork now bringing the Easter egg full circle.
The single release also marks an exciting week of announcements, as ZAYN revealed his largest tour to date: The KONNAKOL Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 31-date run kicks off on 12 May 2026 at Manchester’s AO Arena, before stops in Glasgow and Birmingham, and concludes his only European dates of the year with a highly anticipated show at London’s The O2 on Saturday 23 May, ahead of the UK Spring Bank Holiday.
The tour will continue across Los Angeles, Mexico City, São Paulo and more, before concluding on Friday 20 November in Miami, Florida at Kaseya Center. The announcement builds on momentum from ZAYN’s first-ever Las Vegas residency, where he debuted and teased unreleased material from KONNAKOL.
