Promotion

Malik later encouraged fans to upload themselves dancing to the song and to tag it "#FingersDance", as a "challenge" that they could potentially win a gift from.[2]

Critical reception

David Renshaw of The Fader called "Fingers" a "slow jam" with lyrics about texting, with Zayn singing "'my fingers ain't working but my heart is' over a pitched up vocal sample".[3] Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone said the song "boasts an alluring mid-tempo beat with low synths bubbling around a crisp drum groove", explaining that Zayn "keeps his vocals low, yet seductive as he tries to come to grips with an unrequited love while staring at his phone".[1] Gil Kaufman of Billboard called it a "hazy R&B ballad" that concerns "a love that is so paralyzing that it makes your digits freeze up mid-text".[4]
