And while the song was greeted with ample critical buzz, it’s not quite seen that success mirrored commercially as it’s yet to crack the Hot 100 (as of time of this report).

The bid to change that status came this week when Stallion and Rapp unwrapped a peek at the other side of the lens of the cut’s Mia Barnes-directed music video.
