Disney have released a new cover version of the iconic song, performed by Zayn and Zhavia Ward.
The track is due to play over the end titles according to the video on VEVO, so does not feature during the film, reported Mirror UK.
The music video depicts Zayn and Zhavia looking wistful in a number of moodily lit locations, but never actually sharing a scene together.
It got a big reaction on social media. Most fans on Twitter adored the version and even liked the idea of Zayn playing Aladdin himself.
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA BE BETTER ALADDIN THAN ZAYN
