Participating Quenlin Blackwell and Milo Mannheimthe singles accompanying the music video – directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Laufeny) – matches the same storyline, with SOMBR in a love triangle with Blackwell and Manheim in the western-themed visual.
As the cinematic clip unfolds, viewers see tensions rise and the lines between make-believe and real life blur – leading to a “high dinner style” western settlement.
