The Isaac Rentz-directed music video was simultaneously released with the song and was uploaded on YouTube on March 7, 2019. Max described the video's setting: "I actually filmed it in a school because of the bullying that goes on. It starts in school. That’s where a lot of people get hurt from it all. I wanted the storyline to focus on all the outcasts and all that diversity to show that we are all one in unity. It’s okay to be different. In general, I think society wants to put us in a format and I don’t think we should be fitting into it. We should do our own thing."{{cite web|url=https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/119612/ava-max-is-here-to-unite-all-the-misfits-out-there-and-have-plenty-of-fun-doing-it-amplify-by-gay-times/|title=Ava Max is here to unite all the misfits out there – and have plenty of fun doing it|website=Gay Times|last=Corner|first=Lewis|date=March 12, 2019|accessdate=September 21, 2019|archive-date=May 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501185246/https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/119612/ava-max-is-here-to-unite-all-the-misfits-out-there-and-have-plenty-of-fun-doing-it-amplify-by-gay-times/|url-status=live}} She also acknowledged that she was bullied during the seventh grade, consequently retaliating against the bully and was kicked out.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/3115859/ava-max-interview-so-am-i-sweet-but-psycho/|title='Sweet but Psycho' Singer Ava Max Is Making Off-Kilter Pop For The Outcasts|last=Russell|first=Erica|publisher=MTV News|date=March 7, 2019|access-date=May 19, 2020|archive-date=March 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200324154722/http://www.mtv.com/news/3115859/ava-max-interview-so-am-i-sweet-but-psycho/|url-status=dead}} Issei Honke of Billboard Japan compared it to the music video of Britney Spears' 1998 song "...Baby One More Time", which he stated that both artists showcased their personality while dancing on a school stage in uniform.{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/92667/2|title='ヘヴン＆ヘル' エイバ・マックス(Album Review)|trans-title='Heaven & Hell' Ava Max (Album Review)|language=ja|last=Honke|first=Issei|website=Billboard Japan|date=September 29, 2020|access-date=June 12, 2021}} As of February 2023, the music video has over 250 million views on YouTube.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxGLPVvNjvY|title=Ava Max - So Am I [Official Music Video]|author=Ava Max|via=YouTube|date=March 7, 2019|accessdate=September 21, 2019|archive-date=September 16, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190916160655/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxGLPVvNjvY|url-status=live}} A second fanmade music video was also released on June 12, 2019, which consisted of 15 German fans who were personally selected by Max from the #SoAmIFanVideo challenge.

=Synopsis=
File:Ava Max So Am I Video.png was compared to Britney Spears' music video for her 1998 song, "...Baby One More Time", as both artists showcase their personality at a school in uniform.]]
The video begins with Max walking down a school corridor, wearing a black & red striped shirt, along with a black dress. As she opens a locker, she begins singing while beginning to walk down the hallway, while students begin entering their designated classrooms. She performs a dance alongside two girls wearing Catholic school uniform, before performing a choreographed dance routine in the playground with 6 other school students while wearing a white shirt. Various shots of students are interspersed throughout the routine.
Max is then shown sitting on top of the teacher's desk, as the word 'Detention' is written on the blackboard. The students stare at each other while she dances around them. In the next segment, Max performs a dance in a black blazer on top of a red shirt inside a football stadium with multiple students. She is then seen wearing red Beats by Dre headphones while standing next to a wall. The final segment shows Max walking onto the field with the students, as they socialize with each other while sitting down. She performs a belt on the field, as the students stand in a horizontal line, holding up their right hand under their mouth with the words 'So Am I' written in black ink. At the end of the line, Max places her right hand over her forehead and she falls backwards.
