ZAYN | Satisfaction

Touching upon elements of spirituality that we feel and don’t voice, ‘Satisfaction’ expresses the mercurial beauty of a relationship set against the backdrop of an ongoing war. Underscored by lyrics about struggle and finding fulfilment, the story explores the nature of existential desolation and transcendence framed around love, loss and rebirth.

‘Satisfaction’ is taken from Zayn’s sophomore album ‘Icarus Falls’. The film is an artistic departure for Zayn that reframes the artist’s image, shifting focus away from the pop star in the context of an album that deals heavily in themes of narcissism and the pitfalls of ego.
