The singer's fourth studio album,&nbsp;Room Under the Stairs, is set to release on May 17.&nbsp;

It's been an exciting past few months for all the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/best-zayn-songs-of-all-time-gigi-hadid-one-direction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zayn</a> fans out there, as the singer has been <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/zayn-malik-interview-room-under-the-stairs-album-inspiration-daughter-khai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stepping right back into the limelight</a> after a brief hiatus. Now, he's back and better than ever with his long-awaited fourth studio album, Room Under the Stairs,&nbsp;which is set to release on May 17. Just last month, Zayn <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/zayn-malik-new-single-what-i-am-jimmy-fallon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teased the release of his new album</a> with a silent, short appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Soon after, he released the lead single for Room Under the Stairs, entitled "What I Am." So, if you haven't already, it's time to mark your calendars. We understand that three years without new music from your favorite artist is a lot for any certified fan.&nbsp;
But, we've got some exhilarating news if you can't wait any longer for some new Zayn music. His latest single, entitled "Alienated," was <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3Mc9WnQJxBDKBHpys9O1Bw?si=25c2b70bb13948c5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just released earlier this morning</a>. "Alienated" is set to be the fourth track on Room Under the Stairs.&nbsp;The best part? Not only can you stream it on your favorite music platform, but Zayn also posted a video performing his new single on Instagram to get you hyped up for his upcoming album.&nbsp;

If you can't already tell by his acoustic performance of "Alienated," Zayn's new album focuses on a stripped-down acoustic sound that reflects on love and parenthood.&nbsp;In March, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/zayn-malik-interview-room-under-the-stairs-album-inspiration-daughter-khai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zayn told </a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/zayn-malik-interview-room-under-the-stairs-album-inspiration-daughter-khai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L'OFFICIEL USA</a> that the album title, Room Under the Stairs, was inspired by a movie he watched as a kid.&nbsp;
"There&rsquo;s a dark horror movie that I watched when I was growing up called&nbsp;The People Under the Stairs. I probably watched it when I was younger than I should have," said Zayn. "I always thought the idea of being under the stairs had a powerful sentiment to it, and I ended up coincidentally recording most of my record in a shoe cupboard under the stairs. So I was like, 'This is perfect,'"&nbsp;he added.&nbsp;
Don't worry, May 17 is coming sooner than you think! In the meantime, listen to some of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/best-zayn-songs-of-all-time-gigi-hadid-one-direction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best Zayn songs of all time</a> as you await fresh new songs patiently.&nbsp;
