Inspired by the indigenous healing practice, the Elyandre Dagli-directed video follows the story of a blossoming romance and how love wins against all odds, visually told through dance.

"As far as the concept for the MV, we wanted to really incorporate visually the traditional practice of Santigwar, in the middle of a blooming relationship between a girl and a boy,” dwta shares in a statement. "In most cases, our elders taught us that anything unexplainable can be cleansed or healed through a Santigwar. When we get a reading from a Santigwar, the usual case is that an elemental may have played or got annoyed with us causing us to get sick. Love, as far as we know makes us feel extremes which may seem overwhelming sometimes that we may confuse or doubt it."
