In the video, Parri$ and a troupe of her best dancers take to the woods and Parri$ directed the video in New Zealand and explained to The FADER over email that it was important to her to capture the beauty of her home country.

"The concept was to embrace the natural feel of New Zealand, and I wanted to shoot on a farm while the sun was setting," she said. "All the dancers — who are part of my core squad — were wearing clothing that was made to feel fresh and raw to represent the beautiful outdoors of our country."
