Music video

The music video was released on the same day of the single's release and it has over 107 million views (as of Sep 2020).[1] XXXTentacion does not appear in the song's music video, as he was incarcerated at the time of its filming. It was filmed in Waverley Cemetery on top of the cliffs at Bronte in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia.[2]

Critical reception

Tatiana Cirisano from Billboard states that "The fiery new track, which arrived along with a music video today (September 22), layers Cyrus' soulful, breathy vocal in the vein of Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch over drum kicks and industrial, metallic production. Meanwhile, XXXTentacion slides in for a slurred, slow-burning verse about being 'somewhere in between in love and broken.' The music video is similarly dark, with Cyrus looming about a graveyard."[3]
