Loved the video. Yea the dancing could've been tighter but it was effective.

Idk what to think about the video, it's just there. Maybe it'll do good though.

its not bad but the parts with the dancers and Meghan groping each other was a bit too much. it just didnt seem like her. they should of been edited out especially the upclose butt shot lol besides those parts its a cute video. You are so right! Why did she feel the need to make a slut video? He other videos were sexy but in a tongue and cheek kinda way. Not skanky. Its just so tired. And she is supposed to be about female empowerment, so why can't any of the other women in the video be her size? I hate that.

I just watched the video and I don't know what to make of it. You can tell she put a lot of work into the video so unfortunately it wasn't a throwback parody. I wish they would have though.
I can't really say I like it but props to her,

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Wynonna Judd with that hideous dye job she's got going on?

It was so weird seeing Meghan acting that way... doesn't seem like her at all. It felt awkward.

After what I read on here, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. However, I don't really get how it has anything to do with the song and she needs to close her eyes a bit she was really staring into the camera

The video is indeed a big NO. Who directed this?! It's so poorly directed, the lightning is horrible, editing is not helping and she looks completely lost. How did that happen? I was hoping for a Promiscuous-type of video.

Wow they missed the mark on this video. It kills me because I think she could be a video queen with the correct direction, but none of the videos have quite been great or perfect to me since AATB. Disclaimer, I haven't watched the Like I'm Gonna Lose You video. It tried so hard to make her be sexy when I don't think straight up sexy works for her. I think it would have been infinitely better if they had some sort of storyline and then just cut in parts of the dancing between the parts of the story. If they didn't want to do a story, they could have just had her rejecting a bunch of guys in some random location and then cut in some dancing. I bet she would have been cute and funny rejecting people lol. Then, who made up that dance? Like, Lady Gaga isn't a great dancer either, but she has had some memorable dancing in videos because she had a choreographer who understood her limitations and focused on making a memorable, simple dance that could be executed well. This wasn't done particularly well or memorable or...anything. The more I think about it the more I hate it. Not because it is that bad of a video, but because I like her and her debut single from a very important sophomore cd deserved something better.

This song is catchy but that video looks like an Amy Schumer sketch making fun of pop stars.

She looks so insecure throughout the whole video. Pretty boring although I appreciate the Aaliyah (Try Again) and Britney (Overprotected) homages. A nice mashup of the two

I think it's time to give another director a call. Fatima Robsinson ain't doing it.

i am in total agreeness of what was that video?! I'm a very low key fan of meghan haha i like all her stuff and No is amazing but girl that video? someone said it before but she gives crazy eyes, like close them up just a bit.. the choreo was basic as fuck which is fine bc i don't consider meghan to be marketed as a dancer but then why have the video focused on that.. the song sets up a perfect club narrative that i think if she did the obvious but in a tongue in cheek way then it would've given the song a lasting impact.. the song is gonna be huge anyway, its off to a great start anyway but hopefully the video doesn't kill any momentum.

How are the streams? I think #1 on the Hot 100 isn't certain anymore.

That Sketchers commercial was better than the actual music video. That's exactly how I pictured the music video would be and Meghan looks completely comfortable in that commercial unlike the music video.
