This track is a powerful expression of self-assertion and liberation. ZAYN seems to be addressing criticisms or judgments, possibly from his past experiences with One Direction, and asserting his independence. The repeated phrase "I've done this before, not like this" suggests he's in a new phase of his life where he's taking control and doing things his way. The lyrics also hint at the pressures of fame ("living on a wire") and how he's choosing to navigate it on his own terms. He encourages those with opinions to say it to his face, indicating a readiness to confront any negativity head-on. This song is essentially about breaking free from expectations and embracing one's individuality. #EmbracingIndividuality #BreakingFree
