South Korean sensation Jisoo, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BLACKPINK, has officially joined forces with British singer Zayn Malik for their much-anticipated collaborative single titled “Eyes Closed.” The track was released on Friday through Warner Records, marking a powerful cross-cultural partnership between two of the world’s most celebrated pop icons.

The collaboration had been widely speculated after Jisoo shared a cryptic teaser on her social media earlier this week, sparking excitement among fans from both the K-pop and Western pop worlds. With the official release, the duo has not only confirmed the rumors but also delivered a song that beautifully blends their distinct musical styles.

“Eyes Closed” delves into the emotions of newfound love — a mix of vulnerability, anticipation, and emotional connection. The mid-tempo pop track carries smooth, atmospheric production, fusing gentle instrumentals with soulful vocals. Jisoo delivers her verses with a delicate yet powerful tone, singing, “Time is standing still and I don’t want to leave your lips, tracing my body with your fingertips.” Zayn responds in his signature falsetto, “I know what you’re feeling and I know you want to say it. I do too, but we gotta be patient.”

The chemistry between the two artists shines throughout the song, creating a heartfelt and intimate atmosphere. Music critics have already begun praising the collaboration for its emotional depth and refined production, describing it as a perfect harmony of Zayn’s R&B-infused pop and Jisoo’s elegant vocal style.

Fans across the globe have flooded social media with admiration for the duet, calling it a “dream collaboration.” Many have also noted how the partnership symbolizes the growing artistic bridge between Eastern and Western music industries.

This marks Jisoo’s first major international collaboration following her successful solo debut with “Flower,” while Zayn Malik continues his streak of reinventing his sound after the release of his 2024 album “Room Under the Stairs.”

With “Eyes Closed,” both artists have not only created a song about love but also a moment that reflects global musical unity — proof that music truly knows no boundaries.
