Other than the Zayn revelation, Chris Brown yelling for Karreuche is probably the other most shocking moment in the song.

It is clear we are not the only ones to do a double take, we found some pretty funny reactions online: “That Zayn dude lowkey had the best verse vocals wise he held his own easily.” “Who ever the last guy is, that dude can sing.” “I can’t sleep Zayn what you gonna do about it …” “ZAYN JUST GOT HIS BLACK CARD lol btw his verse was definitely the best, straught fireee.” Not sure if we are just used to One Direction’s super pop sound, but we did not think anything close to that could come out of Zayn. Zayn’s verse gave us a moment similar to us hearing Nick Jonas belt out Jealous. That boy sang the heck out of his verse! Listen: From that moment on we totally understood what all the fuss is about (LOL). Then, we heard the verse by Zayn, formerly of One Direction.

Immediately after hearing the first few chords we instantly recognized Marvin Gaye influence. We got sent a message on Twitter as to our thoughts on the Back to Sleep remix by Chris Brown featuring Usher and Zayn.
