despite experiences that Zayn Malik has already recorded his first solo song under every week after leaving One route, ET has discovered that the track in question is truly an ancient demo for the boy band's remaining album.

A source close to Malik tells ET, "This changed into only a tough demo of a track which was recorded for the final One direction album. It did not make it onto the album and it's no longer new, nor is it a solo music from Zayn."

One route's fourth studio album, as it should be titled "4," become released on Nov. 17, marking a ancient milestone for the band: 1D grew to be the primary act to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with each and every of its first four albums.

the buzz around the leaked track all all started on Monday when a demo for the music "I don't intellect" popped up on-line, then turned into later posted -- and deleted -- on U.okay. producer Naughty Boy's SoundCloud page. Naughty Boy also posted a tweet reading, "Let the music do the speaking guys. Thanks us later."

lovers took to Twitter with a firestorm of angry responses, questioning Malik's resolution to depart One path so as to, as he referred to, "be a traditional 22-yr-historic who is capable of calm down and have some private trip of the spotlight."

Now, a chum of Malik tells ET: "every little thing in the last few weeks happened so fast -- Zayn is aware of or not it's going to take ages for things to calm down. He loves song and making tune will continue to be an incredible a part of his life but he hasn't made any selected plans yet for the long run, he's just taking issues day by day. He become totally specific in his factors for leaving the band."

The beginning of the track also shines new light on 1D member Louis Tomlinson's fresh tweet, through which he issued some harsh words for the producer.

possibly Naughty Boy turned into attempting to shine a light on Malik's vocals? The stripped-down demo, an acoustic guitar-set ballad, did blow their own horns a unique facet of the singer. For what or not it's price, Naughty Boy has been retweeting quite a lot of on-line commentary in regards to the tune and signed off for the nighttime with a extremely zen response.
