Zayn Malik chills at the Russian nesting doll of clubs in Snakehips' 'Cruel' music video

His intentions are anything but Cruel.

In the new music video from Snakehips, the duo of Brits Oliver Lee and James Carter, Zayn Malik sings about the harshness of the world and still manages to get the girl.

Note: These lyrics are NSFW.

In the beginning of the video, Zayn ruminates while watching multiple monitors. Then, as the camera zooms in, we become privy to a world filled with colorful lights and talented dancers. The camera continues to zero in on the former member of One Direction revealing continuous club spaces.

Along the way, the artist becomes entranced by a woman, one that might be able to melt his qualms away as the chorus suggests.

"It's such a cruel world / I'm saving all my love for you girl / In such a cruel world / Maybe I found something good, girl."
