Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed…
* * *
South Korean superstar JISOO and British R&B-pop icon ZAYN have joined forces for the luminous and cinematic new single, “EYES CLOSED,” released via Warner Records.
The track, a delicate yet expansive exploration of romantic vulnerability, finds these two global powerhouses navigating the intoxicating thrill of new love, a theme both artists have long approached with nuance and emotional sophistication.
“EYES CLOSED” opens with a cinematic intimacy of JISOO’s gentle vocals as they glide over soft piano chords as she sings, “Time is standing still and I don’t want to leave your lips / Tracing my body with your fingertips.” The song’s production, a sophisticated blend of acoustic guitar, subtle synths, and spacious atmospheric textures, perfectly frames their voices, allowing the emotional core of the duet to shine.
Time is standing still
and I don’t wanna leave your lips
Tracing my body with your fingertips
I know what you’re feeling
and I know you wanna say it
I do too, but we gotta be patient
‘Cause someone like me
And someone like you
Really shouldn’t work,
yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don’t
Damned if I do
You know, by now,
we’ve seen it all
As the track builds toward its soaring chorus, their vocal chemistry becomes undeniable. The melody feels both expansive and intimate, a testament to the care with which the artists and producers have approached the song’s construction. Its chorus, “Say, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed / Better if we keep it where we don’t know / The beds we been in, the names and the faces of who we were with / And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good / The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look / Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed,” captures a mature, hopeful approach to intimacy. The sentiment resonates deeply in an era of fleeting connections, offering listeners a moment of reflective, heartfelt pop.
Said, oh
We should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in
The names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh
Ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
Oh, oh, oh
On the track, Zayn brings a distinctly British R&B sensibility, informed by his history as a member of One Direction and refined through his solo experimentation across albums such as Mind of Mine and Room Under the Stairs. Known for his emotive phrasing and soaring vocal registers, ZAYN has consistently blurred the lines between pop, R&B, and atmospheric balladry. His ability to inhabit a song’s emotional landscape complements JISOO’s more understated approach, resulting in a duet that feels both effortless and meticulously crafted.
Beyond the song itself, “EYES CLOSED” exemplifies the artistic growth of its two performers. JISOO has become a global solo force, her work on AMORTAGE and prior releases earning critical acclaim and hundreds of millions of streams, while ZAYN continues to redefine modern pop through his emotive, genre-blending style. Both artists, former members of globally dominant music groups, bring histories of fame, artistic exploration, and personal vulnerability to the collaboration, resulting in a work that feels authentic and deeply human.
I got tunnel vision every second that you’re with me
No, I don’t care what anybody says
Just kiss me (oh)
‘Cause you look like trouble, but it could be good
I’ve been the same, kind of misunderstood
Whatever you’ve done, trust, it ain’t nothing new
You know by now we’ve seen it all
JISOO and ZAYN merge their strengths to craft a tender, emotionally resonant pop ballad that celebrates the risk and reward of love.
Its reflective lyrics, airy production, and exquisite vocal interplay make it a track that lingers, inviting listeners to close their eyes and surrender to the song’s world. “Eyes Closed” crafts an intimate, emotionally charged soundscape, proving that two of pop’s most compelling voices are even more powerful together.
With this release, JISOO continues to solidify her standing as a global solo powerhouse, while ZAYN reaffirms his status as one of contemporary pop’s most emotive and versatile voices. “EYES CLOSED” is an emblem of artistry transcending borders, a musical moment that will linger long in the hearts and playlists of fans around the world.
Said, oh
We should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in
The names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh
Ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
