EYES CLOSED (feat. JISOO)

In "EYES CLOSED (feat. JISOO)," ZAYN explores the complexities of love and the idea of embracing a relationship without the burden of past experiences. The song's lyrics suggest a desire to connect deeply with someone while intentionally ignoring the potential pitfalls that past relationships might bring. By advocating for falling in love with "eyes closed," ZAYN and JISOO emphasize the importance of focusing on the present moment and the feelings shared between two people, rather than being hindered by previous heartbreaks or societal expectations.

The song delves into the notion that love can be unpredictable and sometimes illogical, as highlighted by the lines "someone like me and someone like you really shouldn't work." Despite acknowledging the challenges and the history that might suggest otherwise, the artists express a willingness to take a chance on love. This sentiment is further reinforced by the repeated idea that "the past can't hurt us if we don't look," suggesting that letting go of past experiences can lead to a more fulfilling and genuine connection.

Musically, the collaboration between ZAYN and JISOO brings together their unique styles, blending ZAYN's soulful R&B influences with JISOO's K-pop background. This fusion not only enhances the song's emotional depth but also reflects the theme of overcoming differences to create something beautiful. The track's soothing melody and heartfelt lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider the potential of love when approached with an open heart and mind.
