The first 30seconds of the song,
the tempo and rhythm will be
upbeat but slower than throughout

our music video will be a

continuously increase creating

For the start of this scene, the
pace of the music is still slower
than usually, however, as it hits
around 50seconds, the tempo
increases and the rhythm of the
song picks up. This is when the
tune of the music video kicks in
and gets a lot more active.

remix’s and versions of this
specific song.
