I really wasn’t a huge fan at first and was disappointed but it’s now I’m really enjoying it and playing it the most off the album weirdly I was the same. first day i actually thought it was so boring and generic, fast forward 2 days i was playing it non stop and i still love it. im the same now with Justin Timberlake's new single Selfish. Thursday i thought it was boring, today i cant stop listening to it. its weird how a song can change for you after a few listens |

Trustfall is a great song that should've been the lead.

A super-solid addition to her singles discography with a great video, on top of that.

It just felt like another, albeit less cohesive, What About us. Less cohesive? Fair enough. I don't see the problem, personally. It was a perfect marriage between artist, director, song and visuals, imo. Georgia Hudson directed both videos, obviously, and I did recognise her style in TF upon my first watch, but it's a beautifully cinematic one, I think.         |

By less Cohesive, I mean there was a story. But it just didn't resonate with me the same way that other videos do. I feel like the storytelling aspect just wasn't as good. Beautiful shots and beautiful looks though.

I liked it, but I didn't like the choreography. WAU is still one of the best. It's a shame that they invest a lot in just one MV and then practically abandon it. (I miss the days of IND and Funhouse when we had several singles with mv). This has been happening since BT.

I just watched the video. The story isn't cohesive. There are many scenes where I'm like why is this relevant? Who are these people? Obviously, there's the girl, but it seems to be a love story and every single time she's spoken about the song in an interview she hasn't mentioned a love story. And what role is P!nk? She's like this mysterious figure whose like wise, but like... what? It just doesn't have a good story to me.
In contrast, NGNDA has a clear storyline. I know why these people are here. I know what is happening. And it's a great video.
I will say, both videos have KILLER looks.

Personally, I don't think that music videos need to have a linear or obvious narrative, or a narrative at all, to be powerful. I recall that P!nk approached Georgia and asked her what she envisioned for the video, and she said a love story, so it's the director's interpretation. I like that because it just adds more meaning, or additional meanings, to the song which is something each listener kind of does on a personal level anyway. Basically, the girl wants the guy, but is afraid and withdraws, riding far away to reflect by the sea, where P!nk appears with her, after 'sensing' her in the air atop the building. P!nk's role here is what she is to her fans; a soothsayer, an inner voice, a spiritual guide, inspiring her with a sense of bravery and trust that she will not fail if she 'takes the risk'. Then, P!nk and her 'spiritual dance crew' make the trip back in time to the party with the girl, where history's revised and instead of running away, the two lovers finally embrace. |
