The singers joined forces to release a hit new tune for the latest raunchy film
TAYLOR Swift has joined forces with Zayn Malik to release a surprise new song for raunchy film Fifty Shades Darker.
The singers have sent their fans into meltdown as they released a teaser for the new tune on social media, titled I Don't Wanna Live Forever.
The song is Taylor's first of 2016, and she shared the single cover for the track on Instagram.
With a mask to match the masquerade scene in the film, and a black background, it's in perfect keeping with the sexy film.
She captioned it: "Z | T | 50".
The star then followed it with a 30 second clip of the song itself, alongside snapshots of the film from teaser trailers so far.
The upbeat track features the stars singing together at a high pitch, and fans have praised their sound.
The song shot straight to number one on iTunes just hours after Taylor shared the clip, and she celebrated by adding a snapshot of the charts online.
One fan tweeted: "I JUST HAD A WEIRD NIGHTMARE AND NOW I COME BACK AND THERES A ZAYN AND TAYLOR SWIFT COLLAB AM I STILL DREAMING."
While another added: "TAYLOR JUST DROPPED A NEW SONG COLLAB WITH ZAYN WTF I WAS NOT READY."
And one wrote: "Zayn ft Liam didn't happen but zayn ft Taylor is happening fr."
The lyrics include everything from "Baby, baby, I feel crazy," to "I gave you something but you gave me nothing."
Taylor then sings: "What is happening to me?" Before they join up and sing "I don't wanna live forever".
Meanwhile it's not just Zayn working on new material, as his former One Direction bandmates have all embarked on solo careers.
New dad Louis, who runs his own record label within Syco, is the only member of the band who has stayed loyal to his X Factor mentor.
Our source revealed: “Louis is a brilliant songwriter and had not initially planned his own solo career.
“But he’s been back in the studio and has been working on some really amazing music.
“He’s played some to the powers that be at Syco, who are really excited.
“They think he could be a real success as a solo artist, given his proven ability to write hit records and massive fanbase as part of 1D.”
