Video #20820 · BTS to Final Result

BTS setup to cinematic music videofrom @citizen_theartist

[01]

Overview

The video begins with a behind-the-scenes look at a woman using duct tape and a high heel shoe to mount a smartphone to the hood of a convertible. After she secures the phone and gives a thumbs up, the video abruptly cuts to the footage captured by that phone. The second half serves as a high-energy, color-graded music video for the creator's new song, featuring the couple driving while dynamic, word-by-word text overlays display the song's lyrics on screen.
