Music video
The music video features Liu, Williams, Tung, and Skiendiel starring alongside Laufey; all of mixed white and East Asian descent (colloquially termed Wasian).[4][5] Executive producer Christine Yi said: "The all 'wasian' cast is definitely one of those firsts, and I think it brings light to another unique and beautiful facet of the Asian diaspora."[6] Warren Fu, director of the music video, commented that the music video "reimagines the American Dream as something more inclusive."[6] Filmed in Los Angeles in March 2026, the music video was inspired by the works of Slim Aarons and evokes the styles of mid-century Americana and Hong Kong.[6]
Details of the collaboration were teased on 7 April 2026, when Laufey posted a TikTok video with Liu dancing to the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson song "Stateside".[7] Laufey captioned it "welcome to the party @alysaxliu 🌼🧡", to which Liu reshared and replied, "Madwoman let's gooo". Laufey then posted another TikTok with both Liu and Skiendiel an hour later.[8]
Promotion
On 9 April 2026, the grocery chain Erewhon announced a collaborative smoothie, "The Madwoman Smoothie", with beverage brand Real Coco.[9] It includes "oat milk, cacao, black sesame butter, pink peppercorns, berries, banana and pomegranate juice". A portion of the proceeds go to the Laufey Foundation.[10]
