Artist Interview:

“The Thing About Us” by Beks

Q: Weʼre loving the music video for “The Thing About Us”. How did the concept for the video come together? Which scene was your favorite to film and why?

BEKS: You are too sweet! I made the film clip based on my personal dating experiences. Using the basic ‘failings’ pattern I wanted to express the growth and maturing awareness I have about my expectations heading into a relationship and depict this through a ‘premonition. The video clip has a twist, it all looks loving and generic on the surface but in reality, it’s nothing more than red flag spotting. Ironically, the song is about a short-lived relationship that started on a dating app and the actor I cast was in fact not an actor, but someone I was seeing I also met on a dating app. (FYI, I’ve quit the dating apps). The film clip seemed cursed in a way because we had this fake fight, but the things we were mock yelling about ended the relationship in real life just after shooting.
