The video was set in the early 1990s,comprising Daya and a group of girls dancing at an old motel. The video was directed by Megan Park and celebrates female empowerment. [9] [10]
In an interview,Daya explains:"I love the angle that Megan took on the messaging of the song;she took the desperation and hopelessness of the lyrics and spun them into more of an empowering feel through the gathering of supportive females in the space. Between that and the obvious early 90s references in the wardrobe and props,I think it was the most colorful and exciting shoot I’ve done to date. Excited for the world to see." [11]
