JISOO of BLACKPINK has announced her upcoming single, “Eyes Closed,” a ballad duet featuring none other than Zayn Malik, to be released on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 11:00 PM (PH Time).
On Instagram, the K-pop star first teased the duet on Monday, October 6, with a photo and caption, saying, “A duet is near.” The image shows Jisoo wearing a black leather, corset-style dress with her long, straight black hair, alongside a mysterious, shadowy silhouette in the background.
In July, Malik and his daughter Khai were spotted at BLACKPINK’s Deadline World Tour stop in New York. He later thanked the group for the invitation. Now, fans have speculated that his appearance at the concert hinted at the upcoming collaboration with JISOO.
Jisoo is currently on tour with the rest of the group, but they have taken a short break after the London shows in August. The tour is set to resume on October 18 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The ballad is expected to drop later this month. It follows her first solo endeavour with her debut mini-album, Amortage, earlier this year. She held her “LIGHTS, LOVE, ACTION!” Asia Tour in Manila at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City in March.
Malik is set to reunite with Louis Tomlinson for an upcoming road trip documentary series for Netflix as they travel across America to reflect and reconnect about life, loss, and fatherhood.
