He may no longer be part of the most popular boy band in the world, but it looks like Zayn Malik has no problem holding on to his own ground when it comes to his solo career. In fact, the former One Direction singer is about to take storm the charts with his latest single, "Pillowtalk," while opening up about his own sex life to his fans.

According to Xpose on Monday, the 23-year-old British singer bluntly admits that the song is about sex and that it's high time that the public starts talking about a subject that is still considered very taboo in some parts of the world.

He told the Sunday Times newspaper, "Everybody has sex, and it's something people wanna hear about. It's part of everybody's life and it's a very big part of life! And you don't wanna sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about.''

What's more, the pop star also says that he simply doesn't care what people think of him and that he plans to show a different side of himself as he continues to make a mark on the music world on his own.

Zayn added, "From a young age, I knew what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go and what I wanted to be. And that's always been in me. I don't really care about other people's thoughts.''

He further explained, "I just knew that I wanted to do something that was outside of Bradford. I knew I was gonna go somewhere.''
