Myke's voice remains close and intimate without overproduction, ensuring that the central message isn't lost among the effects.
The official music video also reinforces the song's emotional message. It was directed by Daniel. Secure and presents a simple yet powerful visual narrative that highlights moments of reflection, loneliness, and intense gazes that accompany the story of a relationship marked by mistrust. In less than a week, the video surpassed two million views on YouTube, demonstrating the audience's strong connection with the song.
