He posted a short clip of the song with an animated version of the album art, depicting a collage of colorful faces with only white eyes, under his name and the album title in red.

Malik also posted Vibez to YouTube in full, along with some single art, a painting of him in a convertible with a ‘VIBEZ’ license plate, in front of a city skyline. 

He sings in the R&B track: ‘Don’t keep me waiting / I’ve been waiting all night to get closer / And you already know I got it for you / You know the vibes, know the vibes, put it on ya/ If it’s movin’ too fast, we go slower… You got the vibes, got the vibes.’
