  Along with the song's release, an accompanying music video directed by Vesely Marek was released on the same day. The video itself was filmed in numerous locations across Austria, including a pine forest near Wiener Neustadt, a diving school, a studio in Lower Austria, and a theater in Baden, with filming on the video taking place over the course of five days in February 2025. In a statement given to Wiwibloggs, Marek stated that the video was split into five acts, detailing a "visual journey into the deep abyss of unrequited love".
