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.
Promotion and release [ edit ] In March 2024, "Eyes Closed" was first teased following the latest release of "Children of the Sky (aStarfield 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 withJ Balvin was released on May 3.[ 5]
"Eyes Closed" is featured on the soundtrack toEA Sports ’NHL 25 , marking the band’s third song in a soundtrack of theNHL video game series .
The song appeared in the video package betweenCody Rhodes andRoman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match atWrestleMania XL .[citation needed ]
Directed by Andrew Donoho, the video follows Imagine Dragons lead singerDan 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.
