Music video
The music video features Liu, Williams, Tung, and Skiendiel starring alongside Laufey; all of mixed white and East Asian descent (colloquially termed Wasian). Executive producer Christine Yi said: "The all 'wasian' cast is definitely one of those firsts, and I think it brings light to another unique and beautiful facet of the Asian diaspora." Warren Fu, director of the music video, commented that the music video "reimagines the American Dream as something more inclusive." Filmed in Los Angeles in March 2026, the music video was inspired by the works of Slim Aarons and evokes the styles of mid-century Americana and Hong Kong.
Details of the collaboration were teased on 7 April 2026, when Laufey posted a TikTok video with Liu dancing to the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson song "Stateside". Laufey captioned it "welcome to the party @alysaxliu 🌼🧡", to which Liu reshared and replied, "Madwoman let's gooo". Laufey then posted another TikTok with both Liu and Skiendiel an hour later.
