@thehuddawg If You Know Me is out now... It's difficult for me to even put into words, the last few months. I'm sure it sounds like bullshit, but I knew that this was gonna be a special video the moment @jinzojinzojinzo and I pulled onto this farm road. I had no idea what it would turn into, but I knew it was special. What I didn't realize was how special and seamless each and every moment since would be. From coming home to New York and bringing on @LEECH to keep outdoing ourselves over and over and over, to flying in @Ephraim McFarland and recording the whole song in one 12 hour session, to @johnmayer the last guitar hero blessing it a few days before it finally released, it has truly just been a pleasure. I think a lot of people have a lot preconceived notions of what virality means, including myself, but I suspect that there's just something different about this. It wasn't a gimmick, it was just a song. I feel so utterly lucky that yall just really liked a song. Thank you thank you thank you #lofifolk forever thank you to my baby, @Sophie B Aidan Nolan & Zoë Fenn Ephraim McFarland @harper james x Aaron Holthus Chase Elodia Harry Glaesert Lila Lifton @max himelhoch & @Ben Locke

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

A wide, static shot of a visually pleasing environment paired with evocative music to establish a strong, immediate mood and create visual intrigue.

Payoff

The video returns to the initial atmospheric shot, leaving the viewer to reflect on the character's presence within that space. The character is gone, but their emotional imprint remains, creating a sense of closure and encouraging a rewatch.
