"Die for Me" was written by Victor Thell, Nick Hahn, Isaiah Tejada, Jordan Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Linnea Södahl and James Essien. It was produced by Thell, Hahn, Tejada, and the Monsters & Strangerz. Described as an "R&B-pop single," the lyrics find Zayn longing for a lover to stay with him in his times of need: "You said you would die for me / Don't leave me now when I need you the most."
Shahzaib Hussain of Clash described the track as a "heartbreak melodrama," comparing it to The Weeknd's "Earned It" for its "fusion of chamber pop and the churchy passion of classic RnB." The Indiependent wrote, "ZAYN is able to depart from the conventional pop formula, but he maintains his distinctive sound by combining them with the 'angelic' falsetto and fluid vocal runs that have come to define him. Though more focused and 'pop-forward' than his most recent indie-folk experiments, it feels more experimental than his earlier work."
The music video for "Die for Me" premiered on 6 February 2026. It was directed by Frank Borin and Ivanna Borin. Visually, the video sees Zayn "stranded in a dystopian-type world."
