Troye was harnessed on top of a car and I almost fell off a diner. It was fun.” In the video, both singers witness a series of small-town romances unfold. Sivan is seen atop a car driven by a pair of lovebirds holding hands while Lauv third-wheels on a diner date. In the song, the pair are embittered by love, singing that they’re “so tired of love songs” on the hook. Lauv has said this duet is the last song he’ll be putting out until his debut album is ready.
