The music video was released on February 5, 2019. Directed by Nathalie Canguilhem and produced by Yves Saint Laurent, it features a purple hue and CGI.[4][5] In the video, Travis Scott leads a group of dirt bike riders, all dressed in Saint Laurent suits and pulling stunts on a futuristic highway. Scott stands on a moving motorcycle while the cyclists behind him "pop wheelies".[2][4][6] In one scene, a nude woman is crucified on a neon-lit cross with speakers. At another point in the video, a herd of horses run through an empty tunnel while clones of Travis Scott ride in glowing go-karts.[2][7]
