“I think everyone’s gonna love it. It’s a little meaningful one, a little love song for all the people who need that right now. It was inspired by a lot of things, like other people’s relationships around me, my past relationships. When you hear it, you’ll get it […].”

Directed by Zain Alexander Shammas, the video shows Aitch at a large house with a lover who slowly grow apart as Aitch doesn’t have time to upkeep the relationship, which leads the lover to leave a note and leaving him.
