Music video The music video was released on the same day and was directed by film director Hannah Lux Davis and explores fire concept, Carson explained that her and the director used the theme to tell a history that is so personal to the singer stating that “The visual story is all about fire as you guys saw in the video because she’s in a way metaphorically playing with fire in the game of love. The story that I’m telling is so personal, and we kind of created the narrative together. We used the theme of fire in a really fun way to portray a girl who is really fiery within and knows what she wants, but at the same time is also kind of, metaphorically playing with fire."
