American singer-songwriter Beck is the guest vocalist on this vulnerable track, which closes the Born in the Echoes album.
The music video was directed by the Chemical Brothers' long-term visual collaborators Dom and Nic, the creative force behind their "Block Rockin' Beats" and "Setting Sun" clips. It was their eighth video for the group. The one-shot visual was choreographed by Wayne McGregor - the guy behind Thom Yorke's "Lotus Flower" dance.
The video features the British-Japanese actress and ballerina Sonoya Mizuno. Alone in a warehouse, her body slowly transforms into a thick, wireframe being through the magic of CGI. Inside her webbed exterior is a beating heart, representing the song's lyrical vulnerability. The press release states: "Dom & Nic's vision was to merge the mechanical and organic, having been inspired by procedural cellular structures; their VFX Team created a full CG model of the dancer, Sonoya Mizuno, comprising of 107 individual anatomic rigs, as well as bespoke tools to allow the seamless transformation which happens during the dance." Sonoya Mizuno trained at the Royal Ballet and made her movie debut playing mute AI servant Kyoko in Alex Garland's 2015 science-fiction thriller Ex Machina.
