My friend Laura Bailey is not a filmmaker, but she’s an incredible photographer. We had previously done a collaboration where she used a song of mine for a Chanel campaign featuring a dancer from the Royal Ballet named Francesca Hayward, and when I saw it, I was like, “Oh, my God, I want her in every video. She’s so beautiful.” So I sent the song to Laura, who directed the video, and we made it happen.

The song is really just about losing power over somebody you love and trying to come to peace with it. I think you assume that you will always have this power over someone you love, and when you don’t and when they start making decisions that you don’t understand, it’s hard. But you have to surrender and try to be as loving and open and understanding as possible.
