Zayn Malik and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo have taken fans on a cosmic journey with their enchanting new single, “Eyes Closed.” Released on Friday, the atmospheric duet showcases the vocal chemistry between the former One Direction star and the K-pop icon, and is accompanied by a visually stunning, space-themed music video.
In the video, Zayn and Jisoo float separately through the corridors of a sleek, futuristic spaceship. Lost in their own orbits, they eventually find each other in zero gravity, coming together just in time to share the emotional chorus.
“Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed / Better if we keep it where we don’t know,” the two croon in harmony. “The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with / And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good.”
The track blends smooth pop melodies with ethereal production, capturing the feeling of falling into something new while leaving the past behind. It’s a fitting theme for both artists, who have embraced fresh creative directions in recent years.

“Eyes Closed” marks a bold and beautiful step into new territory for both Zayn and Jisoo, blending their global fanbases and artistic styles into a track that’s as dreamy as it is emotionally resonant.
