Music video

The song's music video was released on 30 December 2015 through NESËR's YouTube channel. It is filmed in one shot and features Istrefi performing the song on a snow-covered road in Kosovo.[1]

In January 2016, the song's music video went viral after excerpts of it began being posted on social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram, comparing Istrefi to Sia and Rihanna.[3][4] Following the video's success, Istrefi was signed to American record labels Sony Music Entertainment and Ultra Music.[5] In early March 2016, the video was removed from the NESËR YouTube channel after generating 25+ million views, and was uploaded to Ultra Music's official YouTube channel.[6]
