The dreamy, synth-laced ballad "Eyes Closed" finds Jisoo and Zayn Malik navigating the hesitant, early stages of a new romance. The song explores the challenge of entering a relationship while both individuals carry emotional baggage from their pasts, ultimately capturing the moment they decide to look past their history and take a chance on love. "Eyes Closed" could sit comfortably beside Zayn's mid-2010s torch duets like "Dusk Till Dawn" (with Sia) or "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" (with Taylor Swift). The same cinematic buildup is there - pulsing synths and booming drums. Jisoo brings the soft melancholy that once haunted "Flower," while Zayn drapes his signature ache across the track. Behind the console, production duo The Monsters & Strangerz (Stefan and Jordan Johnson) lead the charge, the same sonic architects behind Maroon 5's "Memories," Dua Lipa's "Break My Heart" and Justin Bieber's "Anyone." The Monsters & Strangerz served as primary producers alongside Isaiah Tejada and Alex Hope, all of whom share writing credit with Jisoo, Zayn Malik, Amanda "Kiddo A.I." Ibanez, Mikky Ekko, and Nick Long. The video, directed by Frank and Ivanna Borin, presents a cosmic narrative set in outer space. Jisoo and Zayn portray the only two awakened passengers on a spaceship, drifting through zero gravity before finding each other mid-orbit. The song was released on October 10, 2025, 11 weeks after Zayn was spotted at BlackPink's New York show with daughter Khai in tow. "Eyes Closed" debuted at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100, a milestone not just for Jisoo, but for BlackPink as a whole. With this entry, Jisoo joined Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie as the final member of the group to score a solo hit on the chart, making BlackPink the first all-female K-pop group in history whose every member has landed a solo track on the Hot 100.

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 (Yeah, say it)
I do too, but we gotta be patient (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

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

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

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
Keep your eyes closed

'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

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, with our eyes closed
