The Ford Fairchild-directed video finds Yola and a mystery man following each other through dimly lit streets. “‘Starlight’ is a song about looking for positive physical, sexual and human connections at every level of your journey towards love,” Yola said of the song in a statement. “The world seems to attach a negative trope of cold heartlessness to the concept of any sexual connection that isn’t marriage, this song looks through a lens of warmth specifically when it comes to sex-positivity."

Stand For Myself drops on July 30 via Easy Eye Sound.
