"Die for Me" is a song by English singer-songwriter Zayn. It was released on 6 February 2026 through Mercury Records s the lead single from his fifth studio album, Konnakol (2026). Swedish singer and songwriter Nea wrote the song with producers Jordan K. Johnson and Stefan Johnson of the Monsters & Strangerz, Victor Thell, Isaiah Tejada, James Essien, and Nick Hahn. "Die for Me" is an R&B-inspired pop song that sees Zayn longing for a lover to stay with him in his times of need.[1] The official music video for the song premiered alongside its release, which sees Zayn in a dystopian world as garbage bins start burning and lightning strikes as he signs: "You said you would die for me / Don't leave me now when I need you the most".[2]

Release and promotion

In January 2026, Zayn went on a seven-show residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada, in which he announced he was working on a new album and performed the then-unreleased song after revealing that it would be his next single alongside four other songs from Konnakol that have yet to be released: "Nusrat", "Used to the Blues", "Fatal", and "Take Turns".[3] On 4 February 2026, he announced the album along with its cover art and release date, in which he also revealed that "Die for Me" would be released two days later.[4]
