Fans are getting fed excerpts after another of Zayn Malik's self-written book which is set to be released this November 1. The R&B singer has revealed a lot of what it's all about saying the album "Mind of Mine" was heavily inspired by The Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

The former One Direction member tells it all in his autobiography entitled "Zayn", which will feature never before seen photos and illustrations of the singer as well as his childhood in Bradford, England and the in betweens before, during, and after his rise to stardom, The Rolling Stone reported.

The former heartthrob now co-designer for Versace said that he's been listening to a lot of The Beatles songs while he was working on his album so a lot of its lyrics and poetry were drawn from the famous rock band, Billboard reported. It doesn't mean he has ripped off the works of the masters and applied it on his own. It means he incorporated their style and did his own thing.

One Direction was often compared to The Beatles with fans saying Harry Styles is the Paul McCartney while Zayn Malik is the John Lennon.

Zayn also said he had to put down 48 other songs when he started recording for "Mind of Mine". He said it was a nightmare when he had to choose which songs will make on the final list, especially because all the songs meant a great deal to him.

"ZAYN" is written for the fans so that they can judge the singer by his terms, not on what the press or other people say. He has continually said this. Malik also promised he'd be revealing more of himself in the book so this will definitely be a delight to those who were taken by his brooding allure.

As to the rumor of Malik addressing ex girlfriend Perrie Edwards' shade with her band's tell-all book, it remains unconfirmed. Fans may just have to wait for a few more days to confirm this.

"ZAYN" is currently available for pre-orders on the singer's website and on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
