dRuNk

ZAYN's song 'dRuNk' delves into the heady and often disorienting world of a romance fueled by late nights and intoxication. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where the nights blend into each other, marked by red eyes and amnesia, suggesting a forgetfulness of the world when the protagonist is with their significant other. The repetition of 'late nights, red eyes, amnesia, I need ya' emphasizes a cycle of partying and the addictive nature of both the lifestyle and the person he's with.

The song's chorus, 'Drunk all summer, drunk all summer, we be drunk all summer,' captures the essence of a carefree and prolonged period of revelry. However, the intoxication here could be a metaphor for the intoxicating effects of love and passion. ZAYN describes a state of emotional vulnerability ('Right now I'm emotional, I lose control, when I'm with you'), which suggests that the relationship brings out a side of him that is both exhilarating and slightly out of control. The idea of taking a shot for someone and the repeated references to being wasted and faded indicate a willingness to let go and immerse oneself fully in the experience of being with the other person.

The musical style of ZAYN, with his R&B influences, often explores themes of love, desire, and the complexities of relationships. 'dRuNk' is no exception, as it uses the metaphor of intoxication to describe the heady, sometimes overwhelming, feelings that come with a deep connection to someone else. The song's laid-back yet pulsating beat creates an atmosphere that mirrors the lyrics' depiction of a hazy, intoxicating romance.
