Her best music video to date. Hands down. It takes the song into another level. As a side note, Dua is definitely the new it girl and I'm so proud of that. <3

I was enthralled from start to finish. I did not expect an anime element to it at all. Superb video!

The last minute of it was flawless.
Not usually a fan of anime but I liked how they incorporated it here.

I'm kind of sure that the incorporation of the anime is a rendition of a-ha's "Take On Me" music video.

A great music video, better than "Don't Start Now" (even that it didn't really set much of a bar in the first place tbh). It reminds a bit of Britney's (You Drive Me) Crazy and Christina's "Come on Over". Definitely her best video since "New Rules"

The video was stunning. Probably her best.
Anyone know what the storyline was about though? I kept seeing words on the back of some dancers and I’m not sure if I understood it.

That video was super disappointing... who proposed that concept?? "ooh lets have dua dancing in different colored rooms and she has a romance that is expanded on in animation briefly, oh and all the colors combine at the end!" like wtf.

Well the concept was also built around showcasing as many pairs of jeans in different colors from the Pepe Jeans brand. (I guess) It is subtle enough to feel more like a true work of art instead of a long ad! Get that money Dua!

Obsessed with this already!
Ps at first I thought Dua was kinda stiff and boring but now I get a casual cool confidence from her that’s slaying me.

Just realized what the synth here reminds me of:
Of course, it can apply to several other '80s songs too.

This song really reminds me of Jazzercise, LOL. It evokes a nasty shimmy from me a la Megan Mullally as Karen in Will & Grace.

#9 on US ITunes.
Pretty sure this is just moving slow because people are pre-ordering the album and not buying the song first.

It’s so dumb that preordering without buying the songs first doesn’t count.
