In a move that’s already sending waves across the music world, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and former One Direction star Zayn Malik have officially confirmed their collaboration, a digital single titled “Eyes Closed” set to drop on October 10. This isn’t just a duet: Jisoo is credited as a co‑writer, signaling a deeper level of creative ownership as she blends her dreamy vocals with Zayn’s soulful falsetto in what promises to be an emotionally resonant R&B-infused track.
The teaser lyrics — “We should fall in love with our eyes closed… the past can’t hurt us if we don’t look” — hint at a theme of letting go and embracing love without lingering baggage.
Social media is already ablaze. Hashtags like #EyesClosed, #JisooXZayn, and #EyesClosedComingSoon are trending globally, and fan reactions have ranged from ecstatic to incredulous.
This marks not only Jisoo’s boldest solo move yet since launching her independent label Blissoo, but also Zayn’s first confirmed venture into the K-pop sphere, a crossover collaboration that’s already being called a milestone moment.
With both fandoms primed and speculation running wild, the question on everyone’s lips is: What happens when K-pop royalty meets British pop soul? The stage is set, and all eyes (or perhaps eyes closed) will be tuned in come October 10.
