You know how the world basically spun out of control yesterday morning when Zayn Malik’s solo single ended up online less than one week after he quit One Direction?

And how everyone was pretty annoyed because Zayn said he’d left the band because he wanted to be “a normal 22 year old”? Especially Louis Tomlinson who took to Twitter to have a pop at Naughty Boy, who produced the track, when he posted* I Won’t Min*d on Soundcloud?

Louis tweeted: “Wow @NaughtyBoyMusic you’re so inconsiderate pal, seriously how f***ing old are you? Grow up! #masterofallwisdom.”

Well, it turns out the track, which was recorded with Naughty Boy while Zayn was still in the band, was actually supposed to be a 1D song and was a contender for the fellas’ album Four, but it didn’t make the cut.

Ouchie…
