After months of rumors and excitement, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has finally confirmed her collaboration with former One Direction member Zayn Malik. The track, titled Eyes Closed, had been quietly registered months ago, sparking endless guesses among fans. While many believed Rosé might be the one teaming up with Zayn, Jisoo has now been revealed as the face and voice behind the project. The duo shared the official announcement through their social media accounts, revealing that the song will be released on October 10.
Jisoo also shared a stunning photo with Zayn Malik standing just behind her, gazing over her shoulder, while she looks straight ahead with a fiery expression. The photo alone has fans losing their minds, wondering how their contrasting musical styles — Jisoo’s soft yet powerful vocals and Zayn’s smooth R&B tone — will blend together in one track.
Although there’s no official word about a music video yet, fans are hoping that the two global stars will share some visual content to accompany Eyes Closed. A short audio teaser was uploaded on both of their Instagram pages, giving fans a taste of what’s coming. Their voices blend beautifully in the clip, with the chorus lyrics saying:
“Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed,
Better if we keep it where we don’t know,
The nights we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with,
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect when it’s all done,
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look,
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed.”
The snippet has already sent fans into a frenzy, with many praising the chemistry in their vocals. It’s an unexpected pairing, but one that feels surprisingly natural.
Interestingly, Zayn was also spotted at BLACKPINK’s US tour stop during their DEADLINE World Tour earlier this year, accompanied by his daughter Khai. Fans are now convinced that the visit was more than just casual — it might have been the start of this exciting collaboration. With Eyes Closed right around the corner, all eyes are now on Jisoo and Zayn to deliver one of the most memorable crossovers of the year.
