"Eyes Closed" on YouTube |
"Eyes Closed" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons, released as the lead single off the band's sixth studio album, Loom on April 3, 2024. [1] The song was released through Interscope and Kidinakorner the same day as the music video. It was written by Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee and producers Mattman & Robin. [2]
A remix of the song with Colombian singer J Balvin was released on May 3. [3]
The song has been described as a mix of rap- rock, pop and alternative rock, with some dubstep. [1] In a statement, Reynolds said of the new track:
After taking some time off the road and spending time catching up with family and loved ones, I finally have felt the desire to go back to the sonic places that originally brought me the most joy, but with a new outlook and mentality. The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too.
On March 2024, "Eyes Closed" was first teased following the latest release of " Children of the Sky (a Starfield song)" through various snippets, following secret codes and riddles to solve through their official website. Another snippet was released on March 27, alongside a team-based event that sorted fans into respective teams (Croyants, Reveurs, or Guerriers) based on their choices on a quick survey. [4]
The remix with J Balvin was released on May 3. [5]
Directed by Andrew Donoho, the video follows Dan Reynolds, who appears to wake up from death—emerging from piles of sand—in a strange world, where he encounters ancient ruins. In his journey, he encounters four doors, but he cannot seem to escape from this place, until eventually a fifth door is unveiled that he must pass through. These strange-looking ruins turn out to be a dream from his subconscious spinning a near-death experience, from the aftermath of a car crash. The video ends with Reynolds leaving the scene and walking into the street.
