Contents 1 Composition 2 Critical reception 3 Commercial reception 4 Music video 4.1 Synopsis 4.2 Reception 5 Charts 6 Certifications 7 Release history 8 References Composition ( Edit ) `` Dusk Till Dawn '' is a pop power ballad. Fact described the song as `` stadium ballad '' and further saying that `` instead of running away from his pop roots ( Zayn ) seems to be relaxing and re-embracing those pop beginnings ''. In speaking about the song, Zayn said, `` That 's where I started and that 's obviously still in there. I still like pop music, but it 's about putting my own spin on it, making it me. '' The song is in the key of B minor with a tempo of 180 beats per minute. The meter is common time. The harmonic progression is Bm7 -- G -- D -- F ♯ m7 / C ♯ -- Bm7 -- G -- D -- A / C ♯. The vocals span two octaves, from D to D. Critical reception ( Edit ) Hugh McIntyre from Forbes said the song is as `` epic as it needed to be considering the two powerhouses attached. '' He noted that it `` features powerful vocals, high notes left and right and a vocal hook that is somehow impossible to sing along to, while still being memorable. '' McIntyre also predicted it could be a potential Grammy Award nominee for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance. Michael Cragg of The Guardian chose the song as `` track of the week '' and described it as `` a towering piece of perfect pop. '' Elias Leight from Rolling Stone described the song as `` throbbing ballad '' and said that the duet `` leans close to her ( Sia 's ) trademark style '', further stating that `` Sia dials back her potent voice to harmonize better with Malik ; she often handles the low end, while his singing flutters around in the falsetto range. '' MTV called it a `` massive, cinematic duet '' and concluded that it `` starts off as a gorgeous, romantic mid-tempo and builds to a thrashing sing - along chorus that will echo around stadiums in no time. '' Jordan Sargent, writing for SPIN, said `` Dusk Till Dawn '' was `` a step backwards '' from Zayn 's previous single, `` Still Got Time '', and further commented that the collaboration with Sia was `` fairly predictable and mostly uninteresting ''. Commercial reception ( Edit ) As of September 2017, `` Dusk Till Dawn '' moved around 58,000 digital copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan. The track sold 28,561 downloads in the UK during its first week. As of October 5, 2017, the song has sold around 65,000 copies in the United States. Music video ( Edit ) Synopsis ( Edit ) The music video features Jemima Kirke. Directed by Marc Webb, the accompanying music video for `` Dusk Till Dawn '' premiered on YouTube on 7 September 2017, receiving over 9.77 million views in its first day. It is Webb 's first music video in seven years. The music video finds Zayn on the run from two different groups, after he makes a sly hand - off with his mysterious accomplice played by actress Jemima Kirke. Soon after a brief confrontation Zayn outwits the law and escapes a pair of gangsters in an intense car chase and eventually lures both parties in a trap and drives off into the sunset with Kirke. The video was inspired by movies Casino and Goodfellas. According to Zayn, `` It 's definitely a nod to a particular era of music videos. The early ' 90s, around that period, people really tried to make these epic, intense movies for their videos, Michael Jackson being a great example of that. I wanted to come back and give my fans something along those lines rather than just some blasé video. '' Reception ( Edit ) Rolling Stone 's Elias Leight said that `` Jemima Kirke and Zayn Malik are a modern day Bonnie and Clyde in the new clip '' for Zayn 's song. MTV 's contributor praised the dramatic visuals and wrote `` Dusk Till Dawn video is a huge step up from his previous music videos and we ca n't help but wonder if this is only Part One of the story. '' Al Horner from Fact described the video as `` a Chinatown heist mini-movie crammed into five action - packed minutes. '' The music video has received more than 200 million views on YouTube, as of 16 October 2017.
