JISOO X ZAYN “EYE CLOSED” lyrics.
English
He said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we’re going
The nights we stayed, the names and faces of the people we were with
And, oh, no one’s perfect, but it’s all good
The past cannot hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let him go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
Oh

Jisoo unveiled the teaser video for Eyes Closed on her official Instagram, announcing that the song will be released worldwide on October 10 at 1 PM KST. This marks Jisoo’s first official collaboration with a male artist, instantly becoming one of the most anticipated global releases of the season.
The announcement sent both K-pop and Western music fandoms into overdrive. Within a few hours:
- There have been over 60,000 pre-saves on China’s QQ Music
- The teaser hashtag became #1 globally on X (formerly Twitter)
- Zayn Malik’s official announcement tweet surpassed 26 million views in one day
Meanwhile, Warner Records’ teaser post for the Eyes Closed music video garnered over 145,000 likes in just a few hours, underlining the immense global anticipation for the collaboration.
Interestingly, their connection began earlier this year. On July 27, Zayn attended BLACKPINK’s concert in New York with his daughter Kai. After the show, he posted photos from the concert on his social media with the caption: “Thank you. Kai and I had a blast.”
According to fans, Zayn and Jisoo met during that event – and even took some photos together in the recording studio weeks later.
By taking part in the writing of the lyrics, Jisoo once again demonstrates her growth as an artist who doesn’t just perform, but also tells her own story through music.
