We are planning on using Marlo's cellphone to film the music video. We've already decided how to split up the roles. In the original music video, the characters are a boyfriend, The boyfriend's best friend and his evil girlfriend. We've swapped out the boyfriend role to a best friend role.

She uses her scenery and visuals for context and there's not any throw away scenes. Shes known for having easter eggs within her videos that allude to future or past songs.
