Icarus Falls is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Zayn. It was released on 14 December 2018, as a double album by RCA Records. Originally planned for 2017, the album was delayed so that Zayn could focus on the aesthetic and sound the album would adopt, marking a shift from the visual identity used on his debut studio album, Mind of Mine (2016). Icarus Falls is a concept album influenced by Greek Mythology and Icarus, addressing themes such as self-love, finding yourself again as a person, and hope.

Influenced by the double album structure, Zayn incorporated several sonic elements in addition to R&B, such as pop, funk rock, trap and electropop. He recruited Alan Sampson, MakeYouKnowLove and Malay, who had already worked with Zayn on his previous album, adding Brian Lee, Dan Grech, Timbaland and the duo Saltwives to the production team. Zayn did not promote the album through press interviews and live performances, which he had done on his previous releases.

Six international singles—"Let Me", "Entertainer", "Sour Diesel", "Too Much" featuring Timbaland, "Fingers", and "No Candle No Light" featuring Nicki Minaj—supported the album; the first peaked at 73 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Rainberry" and "Good Years" preceded the album as promotional tracks.

Icarus Falls received generally positive reception from critics, and peaked at 61 on the US Billboard 200 and 77 on the UK Albums Chart. The Japanese version of the album features the previously released singles, "Still Got Time", featuring PartyNextDoor, and "Dusk Till Dawn", featuring Sia, which Zayn eventually added onto the track listing as a digital re-release in August 2020.
