"Drunk", stylized as "dRuNk", is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Zayn Malik's debut solo album, Mind of Mine. It is the sixth track of the album.

"Drunk" highlights the album's recurring theme of "emotionally labile intoxicated ",[1] which is a common theme in Islamic poetry.[2]

Background

"Drunk" incorporates elements from 1990s R&B music. "Drunk" usually sounds like something resembling a slowed down version of R. Kelly’s ‘Ignition (Remix)’.[3]

Reception

New York Times described that "“Drunk” is R&B delivered under a dark cloud, with its woozy imagery — “Late nights, red eyes, amnesia, I need you” — and its direct, almost spoken chorus, forgoing any vocal theatrics in favor of a casual nonchalance."[4] Cleveland describes it as "a seductive R&B anthem".[5]
