Music video

[edit]

The video was released December 5, 2022, on YouTube. It was directed by Grin Machine and was inspired by the mosh pit meme and was produced by Kelvin Krash.[3] The song and video also reference the 2022 racing video game, Need for Speed Unbound where the song is used in addition to a custom Mercedes-Benz 190E.[4][5] Tyler, the Creator created a cake using a scene from the video days later.[6] “It has been a pleasure getting to be a creative collaborator with EA on the new Need for Speed game" Rocky mentioned in an interview.[7]

Synopsis

[edit]

The video begins at a party where Rocky is attending until he goes outside and is buried in a stampede of fans. Three men find his lifeless body in an empty room and decide to live out his career by controlling his body like a marionette and even make a music video with it. The men grow tired of controlling his body so a computer prints a robot version of him which continues the rest.
