Khalid recently dropped a new single "Softest Touch," his first solo song release of the year.
"You've got the softest touch, I just can't get enough / When it comes to you, you are the one I want / You've got the softest touch, I just can't get enough / This touch, you'll always be the one I want / You'll always be the one," Khalid sings in the song's chorus.
Khalid co-wrote the track with Blake Straus, Nico Johann Hartikainen, and Vaughn Oliver, while Oliver, Nico Stadi and Straus co-produced it.
"Softest Touch" is Khalid's follow-up to last year's "Satellite" and "Skyline." All three tracks are expected to feature on Khalid's long-awaited third album.
"I felt like I needed this," Khalid told Eddie Francis on Apple Music 1's "New Music Daily" about the song. "It's been an interesting couple of years. I feel like everybody's been a little bit confused and sad and under the weather, and so I just wanted to put something out for my fans that I felt was undeniably happy."
"There's good vibes, good energy, just contributing to the world and giving people some love to hold onto," he added.
