I'm collaborating with Selena Gomez on a song for her new album which I'm pretty chill about. I actually recorded the song a while back but I didn't know who it would be for until I got a call from her record label letting me know that we are filming the music video today.

The song is about the digital world today, how people are constantly altering themselves to match today's beauty standards. Selena comes to this bar where she's able to see people's desires on what they wish to look like or portray themselves as. I play the an altered appearance who finds herself being trapped by the amount of likes and comments that I'm receiving. Just allowing the viewers to see how negative it can be on our mental health.

You can have it all

If it makes you happy 

but it did really make you

(ooooh) happy

OH

You can have it all (Have it All)

If it makes you happy 

but you're changing 

Always changing

And now you're lost... 

We shoot our individual scenes a few times before we do a joint scene in which Selena enters the digital world where I reside

We shoot our individual scenes a few times before we do a joint scene in which Selena enters the digital world where I reside. I act like a total instagram girl, doing hundreds of different poses before choosing one and editing the heck out of it.

After some time we break for lunch as we begin to change into our next looks. I have my makeup and hair redone before changing my outfit and slipping on some gloves. 

While I'm getting my hair style changed once more since they didn't approve of the look before, Selena goes to shoot her scenes with the black veil. While she's filming, I'm taken into a different room to have my scenes shot which takes an hour to shoot.

Once we are both done, we join for our final scene where Selena has her skull face painted on whereas I decide to keep the feline look.
