Finally a black woman main character with a supportive white BFF. That’s So Raven was the blueprint, but Hollywood refuses to let us have anymore of these stories.
UGGGHHH we need more of these bro. I’m so tired of the racism in Hollywood like come on it was never okay or valid. GIVE ME MORE POC MAIN CHARACTERS!!!!!
A black indie pop girl with a coming of age movie-esque ass music video is healing my inner child who loveddd songs/videos like this but never had the representation 🥹🥲
Right???! I commented before on her “The Hills” mv how much I wish 14th year old me had this 😭😭 like everytime I see her my heart just 🥰!!! Representation is just so so important. As a black girl who loves indie (and Ik there are actually many of us, but we just don’t get the representation) I can’t thank her enough. Actually feeling emotional writing this 😭 and plus she’s Zim like me?!!! She deserves all the accolades! This year is going to be her year 💗🤞🏾
I enjoyed listening to this. I wrote a song about the remnants of heartbreak. It is called *Hurting Missing You by Xara* . Please chexk it out in my channel and subscribe. It would mean the world to me.
Rachel's music makes me feel so seen, as a black girl who has always been into indie music, which we all know is not a very diverse scene, seeing her makes me feel like I belong in that space as well !! 💕
yes😭 she’s healing all of the awkward/alt black girlies that always wished they could be in those kinds of videos but never saw themselves. if only 12yo me could see it
Did anyone else notice that Rachel had a half heart necklace and Florence had the other heart necklace? It was her friend all along was there for her, supported her and rooted for her all along, not some dude.
That's one of my favorite parts of the video! The whole thing is amazing but it is so great to see a bestie being there for a bestie going through a hard time
Fun fact: Florence only knew Rachel when she was listening to her song and then reached out to Rachel to say thank you for the music only for Rachel to responded "am a fan as well" and then this music video idea came up.
Bro this is gonna be a gateway for so many people into the powerhouse that is Rachel Chinoriri and her already legendary discography, thank you Florence Pugh for making so many people look at Rachel even for just a moment, because a moment is all she needs and you're hooked, GET IT GIRL THE NEW SONG IS ANOTHER INSTANT CLASSIC ! ! !
The kind of musical representation I wish I had gotten to see growing up.❤ So happy the next generation of "just a little bit different" black girls gets to see themselves accepted in this genre. If "become the adult you wish you had growing up" we're a person😍
My "I'll watch anything with Florence Pugh in it" rule has never failed me and still has not after watching this music video. She is dream blunt rotation material. Great song
I love the use of time in this video. Is it a flashback? An endless cyclical loop of co-dependence among friends/lovers/lovers? Really great work, great characters, love the song. Thanks for making it.
I just got divorced about two weeks ago. I needed this song. I needed these lyrics. Thanks for helping move forward Rachel. It means the world to me. "if you can't change, I doubt that I can help you" Damn straight.
#TwitterSentMe and I'm so happy to be here. This was refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. Well done to you Rachel. Well done team. The audio and visual concepts were perfectly married. This was so good and I hope you go far girl! ❤❤ -Love from Texas
Rachel Chinouriri is just so pretty in this song - vocally and visually, of course, but her expressions are so damn cute and fun in this video that it makes it a treat to watch. She has serious charisma.
I´ve been following Rachel for so long now, and her artistry truly never ceases to amaze me. Your songs make me feel so many emotions. A small part of me wants to keep your songs to myself, but at the same time I just want to blast your music everywhere so everyone can appreciate your talent. Please never stop writing music
this song kept reaching profound levels of meaning. its light, fun, vulnerable, the costumes, theirs GRACE, and a sharp sweet comeback, UHG YES.💖 Rachel Chinouriri you are my new favorite💗🤭🥺💋
When I was young in early 00s I would hide under the covers in the dark when it rained and listen to my older sister’s mix CDs, the sound and vibes of this take me back to those times ❤
A call in the dead of the night It's strange, but it's such a delight To hear your voice again It's been a long time since I last saw you You never swim, you drown in your drink Revealing the secrets you think You need me 'cause you're scared What the hell am I supposed to do? If you can't change, I doubt that I can help you I've made plans and sorry they're without you In my head, you can do what you like Oh, no, I couldn't care what you do with your life I hope you just take it easy I hope that you never need me And maybe I'll regret not sticking around But how can I swim if you're pullin' me down? Just promise you'll take it easy I hope that you never need me You say I'm the love of your life But now just isn't the time You're doing it again This is why your cycle never ends You're addicted to trouble you choose I'm surprised you're even confused I know you'll never learn What the hell am I supposed to do? If you can't change, I doubt that I can help you I've made plans and sorry they're without you In my head you can do what you like Oh, no, I couldn't care what you do with your life I hope you just take it easy I hope that you never need me And maybe I'll regret not sticking around But how can I swim if you're pullin' me down?

Oh emm gee! I love this song!!! This video is BEYOND a vibe! so in love. Everything I needed in a song and a video for real fore real. This is the energy we need in 2024. Black girl lead in her own story with the support of her friend looking gorgeous, taking no guff, knowing her worth even when it's hard and looking AMAZING doing it IS ALL I needed in this world today 🤩
Typically I need to listen to a song multiple times before my brain enjoys it and gets it stuck in my head. This is in my head after the first listen. Fantastic song!
This gavee 2015 MTV Music Videos in the morning while im getting ready for school vibess. Like Music videos nowadays don’t have storylines anymore and this gave me hope🥺 10/10 Love the song and the visuals!!
Recently you've just been dropping banger after banger like it is so crazy how amazing your songs are. and this music video??? THE BUDGET BUDGETEDDDDD! I LOVE IT

Absolutely ADORABLE !! I loved how it centered on her and her friends moving on and having fun and the stupid guy got barely any screen time. GREAT SONG !!! And I loved the use of time in this storytelling. So fun just to watch them :)
I know everyone has been saying this, but my inner child is so happy watching this. And so is my adult self! Beautiful voice and this song + video is so fun 😊
i feel so good after listening to this song for some reason, there's like this edm stuff going on in the background like game sound effects that continues from the start to the end? idk if that makes sense but hits all the right spots in my brain
Her smile and Florence frantically taking out the candles at 2:49 is absolute art
you are SO CORRECT
Thats the re-run clip on spotify🔥 also why im here
Finally a black woman main character with a supportive white BFF. That’s So Raven was the blueprint, but Hollywood refuses to let us have anymore of these stories.
Truly was a good show
yeah she’s not going to hit mega game which is unfortunate
UGGGHHH we need more of these bro. I’m so tired of the racism in Hollywood like come on it was never okay or valid. GIVE ME MORE POC MAIN CHARACTERS!!!!!
True Jackson VP was so good too
And the Parkers...the early 2000s was a special time
A black indie pop girl with a coming of age movie-esque ass music video is healing my inner child who loveddd songs/videos like this but never had the representation 🥹🥲
I’m gonna be so pissed if she gets nominated for something and they put her in the r&b category🙄
!!!!
Right???! I commented before on her “The Hills” mv how much I wish 14th year old me had this 😭😭 like everytime I see her my heart just 🥰!!! Representation is just so so important. As a black girl who loves indie (and Ik there are actually many of us, but we just don’t get the representation) I can’t thank her enough.

She deserves all the accolades! This year is going to be her year 💗🤞🏾
@@Jay41same hereeee ugh
True I love it!
Florence was so real for taking the candles out for miss Rachel
Likeeee
Loved it!
she didnt miss a beat either!
The realest part true bestie
Don’t mess with the work flo
florence pugh and rachel chinouriri are the duo we never thought we needed yet i can't live without now
FACTS
Its hella cool flo doesn't sing, that I know of, but I feel its the best new friendgirlship since Taylor/SelenaGomez.
@@missdezimicheleshe does! She sang in the soundtrack for A Good Person.
hey oomfie
@@kai-gq1xy hi favie
A real bestie is the one taking the candles off the cake so you can't get sued for burns🎉
😂😂 This!!
I swear I loved that moment the most!
The immediacy with which she did it was beautiful. She knew where that cake was going immediately😂
I can imagine waking up to this on MTV at 7am & about to get ready for school in 2015 .. I love it
YES.
Memories!! Stop it 😭
Peak nostalgia factor right here
I know😢😢
2015? haha idk this gives me 2000s vibes
So glad being a fan of Florence helped me to discover this great song and a great new artist
Same here!
Exactly
same
I enjoyed listening to this. I wrote a song about the remnants of heartbreak. It is called *Hurting Missing You by Xara* . Please chexk it out in my channel and subscribe. It would mean the world to me.
Same
Rachel's music makes me feel so seen, as a black girl who has always been into indie music, which we all know is not a very diverse scene, seeing her makes me feel like I belong in that space as well !! 💕
SO TRUE
Yeaa
I relate so much!!
yes😭 she’s healing all of the awkward/alt black girlies that always wished they could be in those kinds of videos but never saw themselves. if only 12yo me could see it
As a black African indie boy myself this was gold ❤
Did anyone else notice that Rachel had a half heart necklace and Florence had the other heart necklace? It was her friend all along was there for her, supported her and rooted for her all along, not some dude.
That's one of my favorite parts of the video! The whole thing is amazing but it is so great to see a bestie being there for a bestie going through a hard time
The voice. The song. The vibes. The looks. The people. Immaculate
Seriously her voice is sooo good
Love that Flo uses her clout to help her real life besties
Fun fact: Florence only knew Rachel when she was listening to her song and then reached out to Rachel to say thank you for the music only for Rachel to responded "am a fan as well" and then this music video idea came up.
Wasn't Rachel already famous?
You can tell that Florence is an Oscar nominee actress, her facial expressions are so on point 😂
....?
@@ndo533u can’t read or what
@@fartunl9135 it's the awkwardness of the original comment. But you go on being a dumbąss on the internet 👍🏾
@@ndo533 just say u jealous
Her facial expressions in 0:37 to 0:52 is giving Oscar nominee actress energy😆
Bro this is gonna be a gateway for so many people into the powerhouse that is Rachel Chinoriri and her already legendary discography, thank you Florence Pugh for making so many people look at Rachel even for just a moment, because a moment is all she needs and you're hooked, GET IT GIRL THE NEW SONG IS ANOTHER INSTANT CLASSIC ! ! !
YES.
A moment is all she needs, yes!
I had never heard of her and came running after seeing a random Instagram post with this song on it. Instantly loved it!
The kind of musical representation I wish I had gotten to see growing up.❤ So happy the next generation of "just a little bit different" black girls gets to see themselves accepted in this genre. If "become the adult you wish you had growing up" we're a person😍
Right? I hope more Representation is thrown in our face. 😭 Healing that 2010s self!
rachel chinouriri, florence pugh, and freddie dennis from queen charlotte = the ultimate team they did so good!!!
THANK you for shouting out where I recognized the guy from. The cake on the face, hetero vibes, and buzzed hair were all throwing me off too much.
@@checksanityhetero vibes 😭
@@checksanity I was literally saying mgk but then I knew lmaoo
RIGHT like i really was out here thinking ive seen this yt boy before but where.. it was eating me up
My "I'll watch anything with Florence Pugh in it" rule has never failed me and still has not after watching this music video. She is dream blunt rotation material. Great song
I am the exact same
this literally sounds like it would be in heartstopper!!! i love it!!!
I swear I thought this was the actress who plays Tara Jones
The fact that this totally would fit into heartstoppers is sending meeeeee
@@alunalalune8691 omg i thought the same too! they are both so cute!!
Seriously someone needs to make this happen! Write a plotline to fit it idc 😂
@@TRex799 righttt!!! if they do add it we were here first lol
THIS IS THE YEAR OF RACHEL CHINOURIRI
I need more black artists to sing this type of flow goodness I'm being hit with memories of lives I've never lived. Love love love
came for Florence, stayed for the song! love finding new black artists to listen to
Real pop music is back guys
I love the use of time in this video. Is it a flashback? An endless cyclical loop of co-dependence among friends/lovers/lovers? Really great work, great characters, love the song. Thanks for making it.
Ooooh, I noticed that but didn't read it this way. I love the idea of it being an endless loop (hopefully our heroine eventually breaks out of it 😊)
it is commendable how in a 3 minute video I feel like I know perfectly who these people are, specially the main duo. Great acting/storytelling
This songs needs to be a soundtrack on Heartstopper s3
Florence Pugh is a QUEEN
That last shot to the camera, she ATE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just got divorced about two weeks ago. I needed this song. I needed these lyrics. Thanks for helping move forward Rachel. It means the world to me. "if you can't change, I doubt that I can help you"
Damn straight.
This awakens my MTV nostalgia except with a beautiful Black woman as the lead singer! YES YES YES!! Go ahead then Rachel!
Proud to say that rachel chinouriri was my no 1 spotify artist in 2023
Blew the roof off when she played this at Glastonbury. One of the happiest little surprises of my weekend
Everything is beautiful, the song, the video, and of course Ms Rachel. So proud to call myself a Darling ❤
Closing in on 1M views! We can do it.
#TwitterSentMe and I'm so happy to be here. This was refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. Well done to you Rachel. Well done team. The audio and visual concepts were perfectly married. This was so good and I hope you go far girl! ❤❤

THIS -- THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED
I love this so much 🖤 Florence and Freddie as guest stars was so needed
When I was young in early 00s I would hide under the covers in the dark when it rained and listen to my older sister’s mix CDs, the sound and vibes of this take me back to those times ❤
IS THAT THE GUY FROM QUEEN CHARLOTTE OMGG
reynoooolds
A call in the dead of the night
It's strange, but it's such a delight
To hear your voice again
It's been a long time since I last saw you
You never swim, you drown in your drink
Revealing the secrets you think
You need me 'cause you're scared
What the hell am I supposed to do?
If you can't change, I doubt that I can help you
I've made plans and sorry they're without you
In my head, you can do what you like
Oh, no, I couldn't care what you do with your life
I hope you just take it easy
I hope that you never need me
And maybe I'll regret not sticking around
But how can I swim if you're pullin' me down?
Just promise you'll take it easy
I hope that you never need me
You say I'm the love of your life
But now just isn't the time
You're doing it again
This is why your cycle never ends
You're addicted to trouble you choose
I'm surprised you're even confused
I know you'll never learn
What the hell am I supposed to do?
If you can't change, I doubt that I can help you
I've made plans and sorry they're without you
In my head you can do what you like
Oh, no, I couldn't care what you do with your life
I hope you just take it easy
I hope that you never need me
And maybe I'll regret not sticking around
But how can I swim if you're pullin' me down?
Just promise you'll take it easy
I hope that you never need me
I'll love you if you let me
I'll love you if you let me, come on (ah)
Without you in my head you can do what you like
Oh, no, I couldn't care what you do with your life
I hope you just take it easy
I hope that you never need me
And maybe I'll regret not sticking around
But how can I swim if you're pullin' me down?
Just promise you'll take it easy
I hope that you never need me
Just promise you'll take it easy
I hope that you never need me
Just promise you'll take it easy
I hope that you never need me
I'm addicted to this song ✨
I enjoyed listening to this. I wrote a song about the remnants of heartbreak. It is called *Hurting Missing You by Xara* . Please chexk it out in my channel and subscribe. It would mean the world to me.
i will work on a song with Rachel Chinouriri one day, speaking it into existence 🙏🏼

Been listening to Rachel for YEARS! so glad to see her shining:)
I miss these type of music videos. Thanks Rachel and Florence ❤😂
I’m so glad that RUclips recommended this song to me, I love it and think I just found a new favorite artist.
Rachel’s music never disappoints
Absolutely ADORABLE !! I loved how it centered on her and her friends moving on and having fun and the stupid guy got barely any screen time. GREAT SONG !!! And I loved the use of time in this storytelling. So fun just to watch them :)
I need this to be a whole movie now, you and Florence are the perfect duo!!!
BLACK QUEEN!!! Omg this was good
I know everyone has been saying this, but my inner child is so happy watching this. And so is my adult self! Beautiful voice and this song + video is so fun 😊
i feel so good after listening to this song for some reason, there's like this edm stuff going on in the background like game sound effects that continues from the start to the end? idk if that makes sense but hits all the right spots in my brain
This song is such a hit !! And this clip is so beautiful, the colors, the clothings, the hair omgggg 1000/100 so good
I am obsessed with this song!!!!! the music video??? amazing
I’m obsessed with this. with everyone in this. With this song. With everything.
