Sophia Doddis was chosen as the sole actress for a video attempting to portray the R&B genre because she has a distinct look that fits well with R&B, she is skinny which fits the image perfectly, and she is a very good dancer whose skills make her seem flawless and careless. Her dancing also allows her to show emotion through her moves, which is what R&B is about telling a story through, making her dancing and acting skills well-suited to convey the intent of the video.
