The song sits mid-mixtape cut, and the video takes the title literally: image over honesty.

It’s mostly in-car en route to dinner; close shots and quick cutaways carry the story. At the table, the mood shifts and the date ends abruptly.

Simple set-up, no narration; a quiet table scene that quickly unravels.

Casting director Michele Mansoor tagged the project and named Rain Spencer in posts around the release; the YouTube description also notes colour by Aubrey Woodiwiss.
