Music video
A lyric video for the single was uploaded to Vevo and YouTube on March 24, 2017. A music video was released on Tidal on April 30, 2017, and to other outlets on May 5, 2017. The video is directed by the duo Mert and Marcus. It opens with her sitting on the hood of a half drowned truck in a water body wearing a light flowy white outfit while donning a long wig that goes past her knees, as she starts reminiscing the good times in the relationship. The male counterpart can be seen crying and regretting the decision of ending the relationship. She is sporting a toned down look which corresponds to the dull and dark theme of the entire video.
