Two global pop powerhouses are finally coming together!
BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has officially announced her first-ever international collaboration — a digital single titled Eyes Closed — with British singer Zayn Malik, sending fans into a complete frenzy across social media.
The Big Reveal
On Wednesday, Jisoo took to Instagram to share the Eyes Closed teaser poster, featuring her and Zayn dressed in sleek black outfits, exuding effortless chemistry. A short audio snippet played in the background, teasing a dreamy pop-R&B vibe.
She captioned the post: “JISOO X ZAYN Digital Single — Eyes Closed,” confirming weeks of speculation that had been brewing online. Within minutes, hashtags like #JISOOxZAYN and #EyesClosed began trending worldwide.
Zayn later reposted Jisoo’s story on his own profile, making the collaboration official. The single is set to release this Friday (October 10, 2025) on all major digital platforms.
From New York to the Studio
The collaboration appears to have been months in the making. Zayn was spotted attending BLACKPINK’s New York concert on July 27, 2025, along with his daughter Khai — a moment fans now view as an early hint.
He had shared a picture from the concert, writing, “@BLACKPINKOFFICIAL THANK YOU. Me & Khai loved it.”
A New Chapter for Both Stars
For Jisoo, Eyes Closed marks her first release since her February 2025 solo EP Amortage, which featured chart-toppers like Earthquake, Your Love, and Hugs & Kisses. The BLACKPINK member has been preparing for the next leg of the group’s DEADLINE World Tour but took a creative break to drop this global surprise.
Meanwhile, Zayn Malik continues to expand his solo repertoire after hits like Pillowtalk and Let Me. The collaboration adds another milestone to his post–One Direction career, combining his soulful tone with Jisoo’s ethereal vocals.
Fan Reactions
Fans from both fandoms flooded social media with excitement. One user wrote, “Two icons, one song — this is history!” while another said, “We’ve been waiting for this collab for years. Can’t wait!”
The teaser’s mysterious mood and striking visual aesthetic hint that Eyes Closed could be one of 2025’s biggest global pop releases.
