Released on April 12th 2024, “Alienated” serves as the second single for Zayn’s album “ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS”. He announced the release date with an instagram video where he talks about its creative process:

“Alienated”. I wrote “Alienated” first, and that kind of helped me mold and shape the sound even for, like, the way I wanted to approach the sound of my own voice and sonic sound of everything else, like the guitars. I don’t even know what to call it genre-wise, because I don’t want to say country, because I don’t think it’s country. I think it’s like, my version of, like, blues. You can’t really put them in a genre. They are just influenced by other music, but it’s my version of it.
