The new video, directed by Drew Kirsch, sees Puth and Kook maneuvering through a therapeutic fantasy to escape their own minds.

At just 30 years old, Puth has become one of the industryโ€™s most consistent hitmakers and sought-after collaborators. He has amassed eight multi-platinum singles, four Grammy nominations, threeย Billboardย Music Awards, a Criticโ€™s Choice Award, and a Golden Globe nomination. His 2018 Grammy-nominated LP,ย Voicenotes,ย was RIAA Certified Gold only four days after its release and has logged over 5.6 billion streams worldwide.

Puthโ€™s 2020 collaboration with Gabby Barrett on their โ€œI Hopeโ€ Remix earned him his fourth top 10 track on the Billboard Hot 100, hit number one on the Billboard โ€œAdult Pop Songsโ€ chart, and won a 2021 Billboard Music Award for โ€œTop Collaboration.โ€

Puth also co-wrote and produced The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieberโ€™s record-breaking single, โ€œStay,โ€ which quickly become one of the biggest songs of 2021, holding the title for the longest-reigning No. 1 on theย Billboardย Global 200 chart and the first to lead it for double-digits, spending a total of eleven weeks at the top of the chart.
