The speculation of Zayn's involvement immediately set social media alight, uniting two of the world’s most passionate fanbases.

Many fans noted that the collaboration held personal meaning, as Zayn’s daughter Khai is known to be a BLACKPINK fan.

Back in July, the father-daughter duo was even spotted at BLACKPINK's Deadline Tour concert in NYC. The singer later posted on Instagram, thanking the K-pop group and relaying how much they enjoyed the show.

With only a single teaser released, anticipation is building for the full track’s debut, promising a collaboration that celebrates artistry, cross-cultural appeal, and the shared power of global music fandoms.
