Tron 3 is no longer in development, so Zayn Malik's "Like I Would" music video will have to suffice. The 23-year-old singer premiered the music video for his latest single overnight, following the releases of "PILLOWTALK," "iT's YoU" and "BeFoUr" from his album, Mind of Mine.

Though Malik has not confirmed that the video was inspired by 1982's Tron or 2010's Tron-Legacy, it nevertheless feels referential. Like Jeff Bridges' Kevin Flynn, Garett Hedlund's Sam Flynn and Olivia Wilde's Quorra, Malik wears a light-up motocross-inspired suit. And, thanks to the laser light show, Malik would look right at home in Disney's digital universe. Director X— who's worked with Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West—shot "LIKE I WOULD" at a studio in L.A. The three-minute video includes a dance troupe and Malik wearing a single red contact lens.

Malik gave his debut performance of "LIKE I WOULD" on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon March 24. He most recently sang it during the iHeartRadio Music Awards Apr. 3.
