    Zayn Malik seemingly alleged he faced racism in One Direction on his new song, “Fuchsia Sea.”

    The “Pillowtalk” singer took to Instagram Saturday to share a snippet of the track, on which he raps, “Got my back against the wall so much they think I got a brick fascination / Do you remember every conversation?

    “‘Cause I have been conscious of every connotation / And while they concentrate on their elevation / I’ve got a round trip to the constellation / I’m a convert to the concert, and I did that for inflation, ‘cause I worked hard in a white band, and they still laughed at the Asian.”

    Malik, 32 — whose father is Pakistani and mother is of English and Irish descent — shared that he would be releasing the track soon.

    Fans already couldn’t get enough of the sneak peek.

    “I am so proud,” one person gushed, as another wrote, “king is back🙌🙌.”

    “He’s back,” a third celebated, “we won.”

    Reps for the pop star weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

    One Direction was formed in 2010 with Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, who died last year.

    The five members of the British boy band initially auditioned separately on “X Factor” before being put together by judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh.

    Malik announced his departure from the band in 2015. The rest of the members went on an indefinite hiatus the following year and embarked on solo careers.

    Prior to Payne’s death, Styles had hinted that the group could potentially return for a reunion during an appearance on “The Late Late Show” in April 2023.

    “Yes or no, will there be a One Direction reunion? Will it ever happen?” host James Corden asked, to which the “Watermelon Sugar” singer responded, “I fear that it’s not a yes or no question.”

    The rest of the group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

    “I think I would never say never to that. If there was a time when we wanted to do it, I don’t see why we wouldn’t,” Styles, 31, said.

    An insider also told Us Weekly in December 2024 that the group was “in talks to do one last reunion show” before Payne passed away.

    Malik, meanwhile, has slowly been resurfacing after retreating from the spotlight following his 2021 split from model Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares a 4-year-old daughter, Khai.
