Background
In announcing the single, Laufey described "Silver Lining" as "a love song about being able to set your true personality free when you fall in love". She explained that the track captures the feeling of emotional liberation and vulnerability that love can inspire, stating, "Your inner child comes out and you are emboldened by lust. Even if it takes you to hell, at least you're with your partner".[1][2][3]
Music video
The video for "Silver Lining" depicts Laufey attending a fantastical masquerade ball, surrounded by colorful characters and The Rite of Spring-inspired choreography.[4] As the narrative unfolds, the party descends into a surreal hellscape, reflecting a chaos of her own making.[5] Directed by Jason Lester —who previously collaborated with Laufey on the videos for "From the Start" and "Santa Baby"— the visual was shot on 35mm film to enhance its distinctive atmosphere.[3]
