A Short Film Of The Song Was Released On October 28 2019 And Lauv Said The Following "'This Music Video Means Everything To Me. It Explains The Whole Concept Of The Album And The Different Characters. Making It Took My Entire Soul… Plus It’s Also Pretty Funny."' "'‘Sims’ For Me Was An Important One Especially As We Made A Short Film Around That One. That Was One Of The Ways We Broke Down The Concept Of The Different Characters In The One Man Boyband. Funny Thing About The Song—I Actually Don’t Even Know That Much About The Game Sims But The Whole Thing About The Song Is Wondering How You Can Do A Situation Differently. Whether It’s A Romantic Situation You Meet Somebody At A Party And Choke Up And You Don’t Say The Right Thing And Then They Leave And You’re Like I Wonder If They Could Have Been My Wife Or Whatever Any Situation.'” –Lauv Via Apple Music
