Zendaya Spills On Whether Shes Down To Return To Music

Zendaya  isnt ready to put her music career behind her.

The Challengers star, in a recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show , spoke about her love for music and declared that its something thats been special to her.

She dropped her debut self-titled album her first and only solo project  in 2013 and has collaborated with the likes of Chris Brown, Zac Efron (for The Greatest Showman soundtrack), Bobby Brackins, Labrinth and Dominic Fike (for Euphoria) in the years since.

I think being in the music industry maybe didnt kill the joy of music, but its when you put music and business together. Sometimes, it cannot feel so good, she explained.

Zendaya once teased an upcoming second album MTV News described as distinctly an R&B record that reportedly involved Diane Warren and Babyface in 2016.

But any news of such a project has significantly faded since shes taken on massive roles in films such as the Spider-Man movies, Dune and Dune: Part Two.

You know, I think if the right timing and it came, because I like creating it for myself, but if there was a moment, maybe I would, you know, put out a little something, said Zendaya as the audience erupted in applause.

Dont get crazy! Well see, but maybe one day.

Zendaya, following the release of her 2022 collaboration Im Tired with Labrinth, took to social media to reflect on her absence from music as she thanked fans for their support.

I stepped away from music quite a while ago, for a number of reasons, but I still really love it, so the kindness and support Ive received the past few days just for a little tiny toe dip back into some music means the absolute world to me..thanksshe wrote .

Zendaya went on to speak to Hudson about performing the song , as well as her 2019 song All For Us with Labrinth during his set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last year.

He asked me if I wanted to come out and perform, and immediately I was like, Oh, absolutely not. Like, I am not. I was like, I cant, I cant do that, said Zendaya, who described having bad memories where she had stage fright as a child.

She continued, And then I kinda went to myself and was like, Dude, you cant hide from this, run from this forever. Like youre gonna want to be on a stage and perform live once in your life at least.
