"Entertainer" is a song by English singer-songwriter Zayn. It was released through RCA Records as the second single from his second studio album, Icarus Falls, on 23 May 2018.[1] Zayn wrote the song with producer Henrique Andrade and co-producer Alexandre Bursztyn, alongside Iliana Nedialkova. He recorded the song in a studio in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.[2]

Release and promotion

Zayn teased the song the day before its official release with a cryptic teaser from the video uploaded on his Twitter account. Later on, an official Malik update account tweeted a GIF from the video and the indication of Shazam with Malik's previous single, "Let Me", to unlock an exclusive teaser of the video before its official release.[3]

Music video

The official music video for "Entertainer" was released alongside the song on 23 May 2018. It continues a storyline from his previous two singles, "Dusk Till Dawn" from 2017 and "Let Me" from 2018. The music video stars Malik alongside Cuban-American actor Steven Bauer and American model Sofia Jamora. Malik is seen going to a strip club, where he spots his love interest. The two spend a sensual night together. But when his lady love disappears in the morning, Zayn returns to the club to track her down.[4] Billboard called the video "seductive".[5]

Critical reception

Lauren O'Neill of Noisey gave the song a positive review, stating that Zayn "finally leans into his potential" and the song "feels like a subtle arrival for someone who hadn't quite nailed down his sound." She said the laid-back synths suit Zayn's personality, the chorus "has a bit of a fire underneath" it, and Zayn vocally "has one of the best falsetto ranges" in pop music.[6]
