4. The video begins with a shot of a child
(young Loupz) in his childhood bedroom,
filled with nostalgic decorations,
including Star Wars posters and beloved
childhood items. The young Loupz stands
up and approaches an old TV, He turns
the TV on, this is where the song begins
to play.

5. The Tv shows the present-day Loupz lying in a
run-down and abandoned version of his
childhood bedroom. The video cuts to an
overhead shot of him in the bed as he begins
rapping the song's first verse, and the camera
moves closer to him. He looks disheartened
and defeated as he raps, symbolizing his inner
turmoil.

{ 0:00 - 1:08 }
6. It occasionally cuts to scenes of the child watching adult
Loupz on the TV. Loupz carves the words "DAME
FUERZA" (Give me strength) into the room’s wall,
emphasizing the song's message. Meanwhile, the child
(young Loupz) reaches for an old phone and dials a
number. The caller ID displays "GOD." Loupz answers
the call, and the video transitions to the second part of
the song.
{ 1:08 - 1:23 }
7. { 1:23 - 2:15 }
The child starts rapping the
lyrics to Loupz through the
phone. Loupz looks distressed
as he listens. The video
switches between scenes of
the phone call storyline and
Loupz's lip-sync performance
8. Loupz's lip-sync
performance features a
dimly lit room featuring a
chair and a messed-up
mirror. During this
performance, he raps in
front of the old broken
mirror, with occasional
shots capturing his
silhouette in the faint room
lighting.
9. “Ya tienes fuerzas, tienes luz,
hasta sin la señal y ya tienes tu
salud ,yo se que eso es mental,
parte de la juventud.”
As he looks down distressed, the
reflection of his younger self (Young
Loupz) emerges in the mirror, looking at
him concerned.
{ 2:15 - 2:30 }
During a moment of confusion and
frustration, Loupz pushes books off a shelf in
his room, an old photo album tumbles out.
Loupz grabs
the album and
takes a seat on the
floor beside a
mirror in the corner
of his room, the
viewer discovers
the child is, in fact,
his younger self.
In a pivotal moment, both Loupz
and his younger self rap the lyrics, "You
already have strength, you have light,
even without the signal, and you already
have your health, I know that is mental,
part of your youth."

10. As the last instrumental beats, the child
(Young Loupz) forcefully pulls adult Loupz
through the mirror portal, symbolizing the
fusion of past and present—a profound
reconnection with his inner self.
{ 2:30 - 2:40}
The child then extends a hand
through the mirror, shattering the
boundaries of reality. Loupz reaches out
and grabs the child's hand as they
simultaneously rap the lyrics, "I’m
immortal, but you are my pride."
A.
B.
11. Loupz is transported through the mirror
back into his perfect and organized
childhood room. As the last instrumental
part of the song continues to play, a
genuine expression of happiness lights up
his face, symbolizing the reconciliation with
his inner child and, perhaps, with the divine.
The video ends on a hopeful note,
conveying the message that everything will
be okay.
{ 2:40 - end}
13. Symbolism and Themes:
● Young Loupz (Child Character): The child character symbolizes both the inner child within Loupz and the
presence of a spiritual or divine connection (God). This character represents the theme of inner strength and
spiritual guidance. We took inspiration from artists like Drake reminiscing his mini self in the "Nothing Was
The Same" Album cover art and Lupe Fiasco, Kanye & Pharrell’s "Us Placers" music video.
"It’s a child
version of myself
staring at myself
now," Drake says.
(Edwinortiz,
2023)
"The mini Kanye is
easy to spot in his
polo shirts; The little
doppelgangers take
their turns on screen
rapping the words
written by their adult
counterparts."
(Barney, 2023)
14. Symbolism and Themes:
● Self-Reflection & mirrors: The use of mirrors throughout the video symbolizes self-reflection and the journey of self-
discovery.
● Silhouettes and lighting: The use of silhouette and lighting, as inspired by Kanye West's iconic live performances,
adds depth to the symbolism and themes of the video. Kanye has artfully employed these elements to convey his
artistic vision.

Lighting should play a
significant role in the
video to accentuate the
transition from darkness
to light, symbolizing his
personal growth.
18. Differentiating Factors
Broad Appeal: The concept's
versatility appeals to viewers of
various beliefs through symbolic
connections to a higher power while
also resonating with those who are
not religious due to its overarching
message of self-discovery and inner
child.
19. Differentiating Factors
● Symbolism and Depth: The treatment
incorporates symbolism allowing viewers to
interpret the story in their own unique ways.
The intertwining of two characters, along
with the surprise revelation of their true
connection, adds narrative complexity and
intrigue.
