Charli XCX is an alien enchantress in “Beg For You” video with Rina Sawayama
Charli’s CRASH is due out March 18 via Atlantic.
Yesterday, an hour after announcing she'd be taking a mental health break from Twitter, Charli XCX posted a teaser of a new music video for a previously released track to Instagram. The track in question was her January Rina Sawayama collab, "Beg For You" — the third single from CRASH, coming March 18 — and the video dropped today, as promised.
In the song's new visual treatment, directed by Nick Harwood on the eerie outskirts of Lancaster, California, Charli lusts after an absent lover while Rina struts across the screen with ice-cold confidence. There's also a wizard, a faun in a leather suit, and a bevy of red- and pink-clad backup dancers contorting their bodies in the background.
Watch it above.
