Footage shot by the two artists on an 8mm camera that is intended to represent flashbacks of the relationship is mixed in as well.

Porter added that the two wanted to make the video feel "real, honest, and raw," which is why they captured the flashback videos on a smaller camera, while their performances were filmed separately to "express the pain of the relationship ending".
