BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Zayn Malik’s song Eyes Closed has garnered great appreciation from their fans and music enthusiasts. Fans couldn’t believe that a One Direction singer collaborated with a BLACKPINK singer. As the collaboration happened, they were eager to know about the discussions the two had on the song. Interestingly, the song also landed at no. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Zayn Malik also shared that he decided to collaborate with Jisoo after consulting his 5-year-old daughter Khai. While speaking to BBC Radio 1, he noted that he recorded the song and made sure to rework on his own parts to match the Flower singer’s vibe. Opening up on the collaboration with Jisoo, Malik lauded her solo success and hits with BLACKPINK. He added, “She is obviously killing at the minute. BLACKPINK are all over the place.” Zayn opened up about her global influence and praised BLACKPINK as one of the most sought after groups worldwide.

Talking about his daughter Khai, Zayn also said, “My daughter’s a massive fan. So when she asked to do the feature, I was like, yeah. My daughter’s gonna think I’m cool again. So I’ll definitely do that. I’m not out of the game yet.” Zayn also noted, “To come back to it with people who are basically owning that genre at the minute was an honour.”

Again, Zayn emphasised on Jisoo’s kindness and stated, “If I can say thanks to Jisoo for giving me that opportunity, I would like to say that.”

On the professional front, Zayn hasn’t opened up about any of his upcoming songs yet. As for Jisoo, the singer is currently with the other BLACKPINK members Lisa, Jennie and Rose for their world tour, the DEADLINE tour. The group also released a new song some time back, titled Jump.
