Music video
"Rapture" (Avicii Remix) on YouTube

Nadia Ali re-released the song as a single from her remix compilation Queen of Clubs Trilogy. Released as the only single from the compilation, it was remixed by Avicii, Gareth Emery and Tristan Garner. Ali said she chose the three to remix the track because they were considered tastemakers in electronic dance music. [63] She said she also chose to re-release the track because she wanted to introduce it to a new generation of music listeners who were not familiar with the original iiO version. [64]

Music video

The music video for "Rapture" was shot in December 2010 in Sacramento, California and directed by Brando Neverland. [65] The video premiered on January 24, 2011, on YouTube and was set to the Avicii Remix. The concept of the video portrays Ali's elevation as the "Queen of Clubs".
