The music video revolves around the tale of Cupid and Psyche, which is depicted in the painting L'Amour et Psyché (1817) by François-Édouard Picot.

Both the side A and side B videos were directed by Shin Wooseok and shot in Barcelona, Spain. HoYeon Jung, who portrays Cupid (or Eros), stars in the side videos and goes about life while appearing invisible to the people in her surroundings. Upon entering an art museum, member Danielle is shown presenting an oil painting titled L'Amour et Psyché (1817) by François-Édouard Picot to a group of spectators, in which she explains the tale of the forbidden love between Cupid and Psyche. Shortly after viewing the painting, Cupid sees a man who represents Psyche (portrayed by Micol Vela) and quickly becomes the object of her affections, while the members of NewJeans don angels watching the forbidden love story play out. [2]

In side B, Cupid is finally visible to the man she first saw at the art museum, and thus their love story begins to unravel. Tony Leung portrays the antagonist Aphrodite in the video; upon appearing onscreen, he is shown to have made Psyche fall in love with another woman whilst Cupid returns to being completely invisible. [2] The video ends with Cupid watching NewJeans dancing to the EP's interlude track "Get Up". [8] [9]
