Earlier this month, Pope also released a music video for the track, showcasing the complexities of allowing oneself to be loved after experiencing heartbreak. The video portrays various relatable scenarios where Pope exhibits a tendency to self-sabotage when a potential love interest gets too close.
“This song describes the difficulties of letting someone love you when you’ve been hurt in the past. I wanted the music video to illustrate how when a guy gets too close, I tend to self-sabotage,” Pope continues. “I also wanted to include an intense, high-energy performance sequence to drive home that frustration and anger that follows.”
