Zayn Says Daughter’s K‑Pop Fandom Drove His Jisoo Collaboration

Konnakol arrives April 17 with a headlining tour to follow in May.

Overview

  • Zayn said in a SiriusXM interview Tuesday that his five-year-old daughter, Khai, listens to his new songs and gives blunt feedback.
  • He explained her rating system of thumbs up, down, or sideways and said several Konnakol tracks earned a double thumbs up.
  • He credited her love of TWICE and BLACKPINK as a big reason he featured BLACKPINK’s Jisoo on Eyes Closed, a single that later reached the Billboard Hot 100 after its October 2025 release.
  • He confirmed the Konnakol album is due April 17 and that his first solo arena and stadium tour is set to begin in May.
  • He added that he skips songs with cuss words or adult themes when playing his music for her.
