The black-and-white music video, directed by Ryan Baxley, is a playful tribute to the Twilight Zone episode “Living Doll.” Check out the visual below.

Lucia de la Garza spoke about the music video in a press release. “Originally, the concept for the video was we would hold up puppets, and we would play around with those. Later, we got inspiration from the Twilight Zone’s Talky Tina, from the ‘Living Doll’ episode, and we wanted to do something a little darker. That’s why it’s in black and white. A lot of it is shot at our house and in our backyard. It was just really fun to make and storyboard with the Mind Palace.”

De la Garza also says, “The song is about the spiral you go into when you’re lonely. You start to question yourself and all the decisions you’ve made. I’m always looking back on conversations and going, ‘Oh, I should have said this. I should have said that.’ But it’s also about needing other people, not just for reassurance, but because we’ve all learned from the pandemic that you need other people to talk to in order to stay sane.”
