In a new video with Willow, Yungblud struggles to let go of the โMemories.โ Yungbludโs โThe Funeralโ and Willowโs collaboration with Camila Cabello, โPsychofreak,โ were both released in March.
Nothing says angst like a graffitied subway. Yungblud released the music video for his new single โMemories,โ which incorporates Willowโs vocals, on Thursday. The video, created by Colin Tilley, follows the two, who represent one otherโs toxic love interests, as they revisit memories of a relationship while singing from the subway.
In the chorus, Yungblud sings, โI wish I could let go of all the memories.โ โHowever, theyโre still lodged in my mind.โ
In an interview with Spin, Yungblud discussed the lyrics of the new song, revealing that they were inspired by his terrible, abuse-filled childhood.
โโEvery time I fall asleep, I know Iโll wake up alone,โ says the lyric. Iโm alone when I wake up.โ Itโs not about falling in love. โYou were wrapped around my throat in my dreams. Iโm afraid Iโm going to pass out.โ He told the magazine, โIt sounds like itโs about love, but itโs not.โ โAs a kid, I used to spend a lot of time in my imagination to get out of fucking bullshit. At 15, I was strangely playing with [toy] soldiers.โ
For several days, the pair has been teasing the new song. Yungblud posted a video of Willow smoking a cigarette for him last week. โSomethins comin may 6thโฆโ he said in the caption. โAre you prepared?โ
Willow appears in the new visual, which comes nearly two months after Yungblud released the music video for โThe Funeral,โ which featured cameos from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. The songs follow โFleabagโ and his upcoming album Weird!
Willow previously collaborated with Camila Cabello on โPsychofreakโ and with Siiickbrain on โPurge.โ
