The track's music video, which Wilkins co-directed with Adinah Dancyger, starts with a breathy spoken word piece before launching into the track proper, a rubbery synth song about the spectrum of desire. "I know sex with me is mediocre, but I can give you asexual wellbeing," Wilkins sings. "But I can probably feel what you're feeling." Wilkins had this to say in a press release: island mud house horses and stringy apple tree blood of beet meals baby in a moth suit clipping the clothing-rack soon dry look out for a field be fire and dv’s and shitty driving good music imitate algae in the coolest jacket to exist loving your loved ones like it’s never going to end don’t let the hand deject you except the shadow it gives paint
