Paul PhungZAYN‘s debut album Mind of Mine had its share of sexy songs, including the #1 hit “Pillowtalk.” But the singer says that while making his second album, he decided to leave off some songs he wrote because they were “a bit too…risqué.”
In a cover story for the U.K.’s Clash magazine, Zayn is asked if his sophomore album, like his first, will include a lot of baby-making music. He laughs and says, “Maybe! Who knows! I hope people like to listen to it and do whatever they do — they can listen to it and do normal activities too; they don’t just have to have sex to it.”
“But there’s some sexual references in the second album too, for sure,” he adds. “There’s some songs that I wrote and I didn’t put on my record because they were just a bit too…risqué, shall we say.”
Zayn says the reason he edited himself isn’t because he doesn’t want to offend his young fans, though. It’s more about showing respect for women in general.
“I never really want to be vulgar, if you understand what I mean. I don’t want to be the guy that’s just talking about sex distastefully,” he explains. “I try to do it in a way that has a bit of class to it.”
“I have sisters and I have females in my family, so I don’t ever want to be too disrespectful, if that’s the word,” Zayn adds. “I just try to keep it creative, and hopefully people don’t get too offended.”
No word yet on when we can expect Zayn’s sophomore album.
