BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Zayn Malik have officially unveiled the music video teaser for their collaboration, Eyes Closed. The single is all set to drop this Friday, October 10, 2025, at 12 AM EST / 1 PM KST. The 20-second teaser offers a glimpse into the eye-catching visuals of the upcoming music video. Fans reacted, saying:

"JISOO and Zayn in one video ? That is global star power and aesthetics colliding. If the song’s half as good as the visuals look, we might be witnessing a cross genre moment that breaks the internet Friday."

Rumors of the now-official duet began circulating online earlier when Jisoo posted a cryptic Instagram photo with the caption, "A duet is near." The image showed her in a black leather corset dress beside a shadowy figure in the background. Fans started speculating that the mystery collaborator was Zayn Malik.

Notably, Zayn Malik had been recently spotted at BLACKPINK's concert in New York during their Deadline World Tour stop in July. Malik attended the show with his daughter Khai. He later posted on Instagram,

"@BLACKPINKOFFICIAL thank you, me & Khai loved it."
