The singer did not share further details about the track, including when it will be released and who she is collaborating with.

However, her fans are convinced the duet will feature Zayn Malik. One shared a screenshot of what appears to be confirmation on Google of the upcoming track.

Malik has also hinted that he has a hot new collaboration coming out. 

“New music coming out soon as well with another cool collaborator. I’ll be featured on something pretty sick. So that’s coming out first,” he said during a recent livestream. 

The 32-year-old star’s appearance at a Blackpink concert adds to the speculation. 

He took his daughter Khai, whom he shares with model Gigi Hadid, to the group’s sold-out concert in New York in July. He shared a picture from the daddy-daughter date on his Instagram Stories.

“@blackpink, Thank you. Me and Khai loved it,” he wrote.
