Music video

A music video directed by Jackie! Zhou was released on 16 October 2025. The video depicts the production of a Western-themed film that experiences behind-the-scenes difficulties, as the co-stars, portrayed by Van Dijk and American actress and comedian Mary Beth Barone, are unable to get along.
