A mysterious duet between BLACKPINK's Jisoo and former One Direction member Zayn Malik has recently kept fans guessing. On October 8, 2025, Jisoo officially confirmed that the speculated collaboration was real and her duet partner was Zayn.
Both artists shared an audio snippet of their upcoming single "Eyes Closed." Social media erupted with reactions and excitement. Fans declared:
"Now that’s a collab nobody saw coming 😳🔥 This is about to break the internet!"
Earlier this week, Jisoo shared a cryptic black poster with the caption "A duet is near." This was followed by "Two voices, one orbit." Fans noted silhouettes and tattoos that resembled Zayn's. "Zaynsoo" soon started trending on X (formerly Twitter), as fans from both fandoms began connecting the dots.
Internet reactions to Jisoo and Zayn's 'Eyes Closed' snippet
Pop Base took to their official X (formerly Twitter) page to share the song's snippet, captioning:
"Snippet of ‘EYES CLOSED’ by JISOO & ZAYN. Coming soon."
'Eyes Closed' snippet's lyrics include:
"Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed/ Better if we keep it when we don't know/ The best we've been/ The names and the faces of who we were with/ And oh Ain't nobody perfect but it's all good/ The past cant hurt us if we don't look/ Let's let it go/ Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed"
Fans were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they shared their opinions about the officially released snippet. Below are some of their remarks:
"JISOO & ZAYN bout to drop the most “we’re still not over our ex” anthem of the decade", stated a netizen.
"the way nobody can hear jisoo over zayn", noted another.
"The way his daughter loves black pink so much he took her to a concert and now is collabing with Jisoo. He is such a great dad", expressed a third.
Others also chimed in:
"Eyes closed, hearts open. This collab just rewrote the rules of chemistry. 💥🎶", hyped a fan.
"hm.. i know this is just a snippet, but Jisoo is not very articulate with some lines (it sounds like mumbling) and it clashes with his clear pronunciation 🤔.. hopefully this is just a wrong first impression, because i love them both and i'm so happy for this collab🌸", penned another.
"All of you here saying Jisoo's voice is weak and bla bla bla🤣🤦🏾♂️ dw stream on Friday at midnight to hear her voice well. Love ya😘", commented a third.
"Eyes Closed" is scheduled to be released on October 10, 2025. However, neither artist has confirmed whether it will feature on Jisoo's next project or Zayn's upcoming album.
