Coming back from the massively successful “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” track for Fifty Shades Darker, Zayn has released yet another very catchy dance track, this time collaborating with PARTYNEXTDOOR. The new track is titled “Still Got Time” and the song is here to remind us that life is too short to be living it wrong and stressful. We have to live it up a little.
“Still Got Time” has a simple rhyming pattern and Zayn drops out of his usual sexy vocals and gets a little bit casual.
Just stop lookin’ for love
Girl, you know you still got time-///

The lyrics to the song are quite simple and straightforward, but we will look at some noteworthy lyrics.
Verse 1:
This could be something if you let it be something
Don’t scare me away
Turning something’s into nothing, babe
You’re already used to the games, babe
You play your role and I play the same
The singer is asking his partner to don’t rush into things. If she is unsure, he asks her to let it give a chance and see where it leads them. They have ‘something’ going on right now and the singer asks her not to scare him away and turn the something into ‘nothing’ at all.
She’s been hurt by love before but the singer assures this will be different only if she plays her role correctly and he will do the same.
Pre-chorus:
I could tell you’ve been bored all day
Cuz you’re young and you still got time
Don’t waste your time
We been wasting away, aw yeah
And no matter what you say, aw yeah
That smile gon’ take you places
And I know you wanna see some faces
She is young and she wants to go places and meet people and have new experiences. But the singer asks her not to fall in love. She still has time to fall in love for real.
Just stop lookin’ for love
Girl, you know you still got time
“Still Got Time” theme seems to be woven around the fact that when you are young and wild you just have to enjoy the ride. If you are too young for love, don’t go looking for love because it will only break you apart. So might as well enjoy the youth while you can. The main idea behind the track is ‘fun with no strings attached’ and Zayn and PARTYNEXTDOOR has found a very subtle way to convey the message.
Verse 2:
I know I’m working my magic
And I know you diggin’ my fabric
I’m boyfriend material…
The singer is giving out vibes for her and they have obviously connected on a ‘material’ level. There’s a nice play on words when the singer says ‘boyfriend material’ because this song is definitely not about girlfriend-boyfriend relationships. So it’s more or less an emphasis on the world ‘material’ reminding us that it’s only physical.
The song is quite catchy and it is already making buzz around the music world. We are kind of hooked on to this song and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do too. If you do, make sure to leave a comment about the song or the lyrics below.
