Intergalactic Love Story
Accompanying the song is a sleek, otherworldly music video. In the visual, Zayn and Jisoo are seen drifting alone through a spaceship before finding each other in orbit to deliver the track’s hypnotic chorus.
The lyrics hint at a fresh start, with the two singing, “Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed/Better if we keep it where we don’t know… ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good.” After weeks of teasing the project, the final product confirms the massive hype surrounding the release.
What’s Next for the Superstars?
This duet marks a busy period for both artists. It’s Jisoo’s first musical offering since her acclaimed solo EP, Amortage, and she is currently on a worldwide tour with Blackpink.
Meanwhile, Zayn is gearing up for a Las Vegas residency scheduled for mid-January. Fans are also anticipating his reunion with One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson for an upcoming Netflix series. While Zayn rarely collaborates on his own music, he has previously teamed up with industry giants like Taylor Swift and Sia, placing Jisoo in elite company.
