With a low-key vibe featuring guitars, pianos and drums, Malik’s new song sees him sing about how he’s been “readin’ old s–t and I can’t make sense of it.” He adds that there’s “no conspiracy that can save me” and “livin’ in the moment feels good to me till it hurts and I need somebody.” “What I Am” is a departure from the techno production of his prior single, “Love Like This.” Released in July 2023, the song featured a sparse drum-and-bass sound, putting his AutoTuned vocals in the forefront.
