BLINKs and Zayn fans are losing it — the much-talked-about collaboration between BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Zayn Malik is finally here. On Friday, October 10, the two global stars dropped their dreamy duet EYES CLOSED, and it’s everything fans hoped for. The music video, lasting just over three minutes, shows off their powerful chemistry and stunning visuals, instantly turning the collab into a global buzz.
The EYES CLOSED video follows a space-inspired love story. Set mostly in white and red tones, it tells the tale of two people who aren’t meant to be together but find themselves drawn to each other by fate. The video opens with Jisoo and Zayn waking up inside what looks like a space pod, surrounded by the quiet beauty of outer space. As they float through the galaxy, Saturn and its glowing rings appear, symbolizing a love that keeps circling back but never fully connects.
Throughout the video, Jisoo and Zayn’s characters are shown gazing at each other and the vast universe outside their “spaceship.” Even as they drift endlessly around Saturn, never quite reaching it, they can’t help but fall for each other — a metaphor for love that feels both fated and impossible. Their voices blend effortlessly, creating an emotional and cinematic experience for viewers.
This marks Jisoo’s first music release in eight months since her solo album AMORTAGE. She’s currently juggling her ongoing world tour with BLACKPINK and her growing acting career. Her latest appearance was in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, alongside stars like Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seop. BLACKPINK, meanwhile, is preparing for a new mini-album expected in November, followed by the next leg of their DEADLINE world tour.
As for Zayn Malik, he recently announced a new three-part documentary series with his former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson. The two will take a road trip across the U.S., reflecting on their careers, friendship, and personal journeys.
With EYES CLOSED, Jisoo and Zayn have created not just a song but a moment — a beautiful mix of K-pop glamour and Western pop emotion that fans from both worlds can’t stop talking about.
