Global Powerhouses JISOO and ZAYN Unite for Cinematic Duet ‘EYES CLOSED’
The BLACKPINK superstar and the UK pop-R&B titan dive headfirst into nervous anticipation and thrilling commitment on their epic new duet.
Few artists can command attention across music, film, and fashion quite like JISOO. The international style icon (a global ambassador for Dior and Cartier, and recently named the face of ALO Yoga) has teamed up with the soulful, multi-platinum artist ZAYN for the powerful new duet, “EYES CLOSED,” a track that beautifully captures the emotional tightrope walk of surrendering to love.
“EYES CLOSED” is set against expansive, genre-swirling production that reflects the depth of their cinematic story. The lyrics reveal a moment of high vulnerability and nervous thrill. JISOO opens on a tender note, only for ZAYN to step in with assurance: “I know what you’re feeling and I know you want to say it / I do too, but we gotta be patient.”
The song’s core is a daring proposition: to fall in love by ignoring the failures of the past. The massive, soulful chorus—**“Say, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed... The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look”—**is a testament to emotional resilience.
The collaboration arrives as JISOO continues her meteoric solo rise. Her debut single album ME made history as the best-selling album by a solo female artist in South Korea, and her follow-up mini album, AMORTAGE, explored the emotional stages of love—a theme she carries into this duet. With ZAYN, a multi-faceted artist known for his raw, revealing work, “EYES CLOSED” is an emotionally rich, unflinchingly honest moment between two artists who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable on the world stage.
