Music video
editThe music video for the song was released on DJ Snake's YouTube channel on 11 July 2016, with an cameo appearance by Penélope Cruz.But DJ Snake doesn't appear in the video
The video tells the story of a depressed woman who dances at clubs alone, swings alone, and lives in the junkyard. One day, a group of people bring a blue car (a Volkswagen Golf MK1 Cabriolet) to the junkyard which the woman falls in love with. Interactive scenes include a crane lifting the car from the group and also scenes of the woman dating the car. However, things take a wrong turn when she sees another woman with the car. She beats up the woman and argues with the car until eventually pouring gasoline on it and burning it. Although it seems as if it was a normal car, the video shows scenes of the woman touching the car's headlights, which light up, making it seem as if the car was alive.
