Initially, the female vocalist on the song remained anonymous. According to Jensen, "She actually was one of my friends' friend[s]. He found her on the street when she was a jazz singer. She has an incredible voice, and her live [vocal] is really really good."[2] In November 2017, she was revealed as Danish singer Theresa Rex.[3]

Music video

The official music video for the song was released on 27 January 2017, through Ultra Music and Martin Jensen's YouTube account. It was directed by Nicolas Tobias Følsgaard and choreographed by Tobias Ellehammer and stars dancers such as Haeni Kim, Dylan Mayoral, Jamie Telford, Sandra Brünnich, Lianne Lee May, Michel Patric Sian, Remi Black and Cilia Trappaud, who dance throughout the whole video, while Martin Jensen plays the music at the back.

It tells a very loose version of the classic "Boy meets girl, loses girl, wins girl back again" storyline. [4]

gollark: Doesn't having *no* updates even if you want them make it unsuitable for basically everything but a liveCD?
gollark: Can you though? Might a lot of Windows internals not expect CRLFs?
gollark: I just add random CRs to all my files!
gollark: I've definitely seen Windows installing weird useless stuff on update before.
gollark: 7 still has the resource wastage, maybe telemetry and forced updates, and also maybe other-OS-breaking.
