BLACKPINK’s JISOO Teams Up with ZAYN for the Hauntingly Beautiful ‘Eyes Closed’

“I got tunnel vision every second you’re with me.”

Fresh off her acclaimed role in Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, BLACKPINK’s JISOO steps into a new chapter this time with British pop star ZAYN. Their collaboration, Eyes Closed, isn’t just a meeting of East and West; it’s a haunting exploration of forbidden love and longing that feels both cinematic and intimate.

EYES CLOSED is a song of forbidden love. Backed by lush synths and a slow-burning beat, Eyes Closed finds JISOO and ZAYN trading verses like two lovers teetering between desire and danger. Their harmonies blend surprisingly well. ZAYN’s raspy falsetto complements JISOO’s crystal-clear tone, creating a track that feels both nostalgic and new.

ZAYN is known for his soulful vocals and diving into the world of R&B, which makes him the perfect contender for a song like this. He adds the element of the bad boy to the music, almost like that one guy your mom or your best friend told you to watch out for because he’s bad news, but you still go ahead and give him a chance anyway. JISOO brings the element of the good girl who has everything going for herself, and that she does not need any distractions whatsoever.

JISOO and ZAYN knew they were reliving past rebellious memories of lovers or people they had no business being with. This song marks the first collaboration for the BLACKPINK member on the road to her full-length debut album.

Eyes Closed is more than a teaser, it’s proof that JISOO is ready to step fully into her own spotlight, balancing the elegance of K-pop with a global, genre-blending sound.

The “Earthquake” singer told Vanity Fair that she has “been working hard since the start of the year” and will release a full-length album with more than four songs. Though no further information has been confirmed on the status, let alone the title of her debut album, we can say that this is not the last we have heard of JISOO.

The young artist is still currently touring with her group, BLACKPINK, on their DEADLINE World Tour, which is scheduled to end in January 2026.
