Music and arrangement was carried out by Schubert Avakian, and lyrics were written by Ariana.

The video contains scenes of Ebi singing in an arid setting with frequent shots of a couple appearing. By the end of the video, the remains of a plane from a plane crash are shown, with the couple fading away implying that they had died in the accident.
