Music video

Background and concept

The music video for "High Off My Love" was released on May 15, 2015, to Hilton's official Vevo. It was directed by Hannah Lux Davis who had previously worked with Hilton on music videos for her singles "Good Time" and "Come Alive". It was shot on June 25, 2014, in Los Angeles, California.[ citation needed ] Hilton had previously announced an open casting call on her Twitter looking for models to be in the video. [19]

The video is actually inspired by Madonna's "Justify My Love" because the song is very sexy and sexual. It's about love and how it makes me feel high. I wanted the video to be really sexy and fun, and it's completely the opposite of the "Come Alive" video. I wanted to do two separate kinds of videos.

It is followed by a scene where Hilton, sporting a black coat and a beehive hairdo, walks through a hall. Different images of Hilton can be seen throughout the video. Billboard reviewed the video calling it "racy and awesomely retro, like "I'm a Slave 4 U" meets "Dirrty" – with BDSM costumes, bare midriffs and lots and lots of heavy breathing". [23]

The video received 314,000 worldwide views in two days after its release and more than one million views in its first week. [24]
