JiSoo and ZAYN’s ‘EYES CLOSED’ has received mixed reactions on Reddit discussion:

“I usually strongly dislike JiSoo’s voice, but she sounds great here.”

“I’m surprised, but I quite like it. They both sounded good to me, especially ZAYN.”

“I loved it. I’ve always loved ZAYN and I’m so excited for JiSoo. Perfect song for the fall too. I really hope it becomes successful. ZAYN has a pretty great track record with collabs.”

“I’m not a big fan of JiSoo’s singing voice, but this song was definitely good in terms of vocals, so I was pleasantly surprised. ZAYN needs no words—that man is incapable of releasing a bad song.”

“I like this tone she has here. It suits her way more than a higher register.”

“I would definitely like to see another duet from them. JiSoo was always the member I had a soft spot for from the beginning. The song itself feels very 2017, like one of those songs that would be in the background of a YouTube fanfiction or a duet Y/N would do with her bad boy mafia boss—but in a good way.”

“It’s a nice listen, something you hear in the mall and such. My only issue is that you can only hear ZAYN on the chorus. Other than that, it’s a good song.”

“Something about JiSoo’s voice sounds super unnatural (some kind of effect). I also find the song to be boring.”
