Singer Zayn Malik says he has withheld certain songs as they were "a bit too risque" for his listeners.
The 24-year-old musician says he does not want to be an artiste whose songs sound "vulgar", according Femalefirst.
"There's some songs that I wrote and I didn't put on my record because they were just a bit too... Risque, shall we say. That is something that I do think about. I never really want to be vulgar, if you understand what I mean," Zayn says.
The "Pillowtalk" singer adds he wants to have a certain class associated with the songs he writes.
"I don't want to be the guy that's just talking about sex distastefully. I try to do it in a way that has a bit of class to it. I have sisters and I have females in my family, so I don't ever want to be too disrespectful, if that's the word. I just try to keep it creative, and hopefully people don't get too offended," he says.
