'Pillowtalk,' the first solo single from Zayn Malik -- sorry, Zayn -- premiered early Friday morning with its bombastic chorus and accompanying video of stylish light and, uh, flower imagery.

Since Zayn departed his mates in One Direction last March, fans of the group have been split on their thoughts of him. Some supported him and recognized his creative frustrations; others essentially inferred he was dead to them. And when "Pillowtalk" arrived, the reactions came flooding in -- divided as always.

There was, of course, a lot of praise.

Like, A LOT.

And some bold declarations.

Some fans felt quite proud of their boy.

And some recognized the grand synchronicity of life.

Not everyone was thrilled with the video, though.

Or the song itself.

This image of Niall kept popping up, too, though there was no way to know whether or not it was Photoshopped ?.

And then there's, well, the truth.
