The song is the latest from the pair
South Korean superstar singer, actress, and international style icon Jisoo unites with multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist Zayn to release the epic new collaborative single “Eyes Closed” via Warner Records. Set to expansive, genre-swirling production, the duet captures the nervous anticipation and thrilling freefall of diving into new love without looking back. The song is part of the solo deal Jisoo signed with Warner Records.
The momentous team-up arrives as Jisoo continues to delight audiences on Blackpink’s Deadline World Tour, which has sold out stadiums on multiple continents already. Meanwhile, Zayn is set to kick off 2026 with his first-ever Las Vegas residency, marking the beginning of what will be a massive year as he gears up for his next chapter.
“Eyes Closed” opens on a tender moment. “Time is standing still and I don’t want to leave your lips / Tracing my body with your fingertips,” sings Jisoo, and Zayn replies, “I know what you’re feeling and I know you want to say it / I do too, but we gotta be patient.” Their cinematic story unfolds as the soundtrack deepens — warm keys and raw acoustic guitar mix with throbbing bass synth, and loads of gravity-free atmosphere. Together, their soulful vocals make a vow as they build into the huge chorus: “Say, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed / Better if we keep it where we don’t know / The beds we been in, the names and the faces of who we were with / And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good / 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.”
Earlier this year, Jisoo released her highly anticipated debut mini album Amortgage, led by the singles “Earthquake” and “Your Love,” which she’s been performing during her solo set on tour with Blackpink. Amortgage is Jisoo’s most comprehensive solo work yet and marked a “rebirth” of the global superstar. Taking its name from a fusion of “amor” and “montage,” the four-song set explores the emotional stages of love and the many vivid moments of a relationship. The release debuted at No. 1 on the South Korea Albums Chart and also spawned the dance floor-shaking Sam Feldt remix of “Earthquake.”
Zayn, known for his skyscraping vocals and hybrid style of pop and R&B, has left an indelible mark on pop culture. He made history with his debut solo album Mind of Mine, becoming the first UK male solo artist to debut at No. 1 on both the UK and US album charts in its first week of release. The album’s lead single, “Pillowtalk,” hit No. 1 in 68 countries around the world and has since been certified five times platinum by the RIAA. In 2024, he released his raw and revealing fourth studio album, Room Under the Stars, via Mercury Records to critical acclaim, and embarked on his first-ever solo tour across the US, UK, and Mexico. Most recently, Zayn collaborated with Borderlands 4 to release “Break Free,” an original song created for the latest installment in the popular video game franchise.
