Music video
The music video was released on 28 February 2019.[4] The video was co-directed by David O'Donohue and Shark with a narrative following a complicated love story. Shark said: "It was important for me to be involved in the process as I was the one who came up with the concept of these two worlds that play out through the video. Mess Her Up is a very deep and emotional song and I needed the actors to do it justice." The video was produced by Felicity Jayn Heath and shot in Los Angeles.[5]
