Zayn performs 'Like I Would' at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards

The same day his album debuted atop the Billboard 200, Zayn performed live at iHeartRadio Music Awards.

First off, Zendaya gave Zayn a rousing introduction, pointing out how he'd joined the ranks of Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé, in posting a solo No. 1 after leaving a highly successful group. But Zayn wasn't there to perform "Pillowtalk." Instead, it was the dance number "Like I Would."

Zayn came out into the stage at the center of the crowd, and got the Forum moving with a confident vocal performance. Lights spun from the ceiling as the former One Direction member and his backing band grooved along. Zayn put an exclamation point on his performance with a high-pitched vocal run to ride out the final notes.

On the singles side, "Pillowtalk" currently sits at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
