Music video

In the lyrics of the song, Ekberg describes a woman whom she calls a mouse. The word albatraoz is made-up but refers to the albatross[5] and is also the name of a Swedish electronic group that AronChupa is a member of. The song's use of "mouse" is a play on words, as mus (the Swedish word for "mouse") is also a slang term for vagina.

Music video

The video for the single features Aron Ekberg's younger sister Nora Ekberg. The video starts off with the song being introduced by a French announcer, with a black background, and the text "A film by AronChupa" and "In association with Sertac Yildizhan", accompanied by a pianist.

Women are shown doing their makeup and applying perfume in a dressing room and act as backup dancers in their dressing gowns; whilst the video is focused mostly on Nora Ekberg, AronChupa is also shown behind a turntable, with an older drummer nearby; also, Saxophone players are featured.

The video was shot at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California. The official music video has over 1.1 billion views on YouTube as of October 2019.
