this wasn’t at all what i was expecting from james and i am so pleasantly surprised. this whole production is incredible.
This is a beautiful music video. Honestly, there’s something so humble about watching a music video, that doesn’t showcase the singer/artist as the main character. The singing is amazing, and I love how the dancers get the spotlight and are able to showcase their own talents and abilities. Such a masterpiece, this is a win for James Charles 👏

i cannot deny how beautifully this music video was made, from james’s captivating vocals to the brilliant actors choreo. Its just simply a work of art, well done. One doesn’t have to adore the person to be able to respect when there’s talent, and I have to give praise where praise is due 😊
genuinely might be the best music video i’ve ever seen. the dancing is so passionate and incredible. my jaw was quite literally on the floor.

the dancing. the acting. the direction. THE SONG. I cannot begin to explain how much this song meant to me and made me want to start bawling my eyes out. it was so deep and had a beautiful story and James's vocal were absolutely amazing. I fell in love with Call Me Back and now THIS? This is magical. What a masterpiece this song is and will become in the future.

Either you’re incapable of listening or this is low key an insult? If you truly are trying to complement the video, I’d say it’s beautiful how the dancing visually describes the story/emotions being told/felt in the song. The way you put it kinda sounds like you’re saying, thank god the dancing explains the story because the song doesn’t

This is so inspirational to me because for years people ridiculed James singing, most people would just give up. But he literally said I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna work hard and you'll see I can do this. And he did. I don't condone things that he has done but this is absolutely beautiful and the full song is even better than I expected it to be from the snippets. I am blown away. James, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, you did it dude. This is beyond stunning.

Why? He’s been very talented from the beginning doing bob ross shit on his face, to singing in front of thousands to surviving Jeffers star. What you expect? It’s perfection! And he killed it!
At first, I low-key thought that was James Charles
Bro my friend always watch you that she is always stuck on her phone 💀
i am cryyiiiinngggg 😩😩😩 the hoodie getting roughed up each time they dance then finally he takes it off of him symbolizing how much he's been giving to this situationship and not getting anything back and how much he's lost himself breaks my heart 😩😩 waiit, another symbolism.. after the bridge when he lifts him up so high then drops him all the way to the ground.. it symbolizes how he feels when the person is around, they give you everything at that moment then when they leave they take it all away and you're left at your lowest, kinda like an addiction 😩
OH MY GOODNESS!!! i am shocked! JAMES!?!? THAT WAS SO GOOD! I knew that you could sing but oh my goodness that was beautiful. Props to those dancers too. You are so talented in so many different things. make sure to never let the people in the world get you down, because you are amazing and deserve so much! 💜💜💜

OMG JAMES UR A GENIUS 🤯🙌, the last shot of “you” being next to a phone ☎️, still waiting / hoping he would CALL YOU BACK even after everything he put you through, is LITERALLY the cherry on top 😩🤌✨. The attention to detail is ON POINT. 3:47 for those that missed that sneaky detail 😎, here you go 😘
I have no words just wow, the choreography, the lyrics, the relatability, it’s breathtaking. Stunning, absolutely award winning congratulations James!
Not the fact that James and the actors ate that, such beautiful singing and songwriting, and can we talk about the choreography. goosebumps for sure.
THIS SONG... Hits me so hard especially because I'm dealing with the same thing RIGHT NOW
I didn’t expect anything, I was positively surprised
OH MY GODDD!! THE LYRICS. THE SINGER, THE DANCER, THE VIDEOGRAPHER, THE BACKGROUND EVERYTHING IS SO DARN GOOD ITS SOO GOOD
As queer folk, we've all been here, even if it's been for a milisecond. This is so truthfully portrad, the entirety of how it all feels.❤️🔥
Ugh this is done so beautifully and it's so visceral and raw. I feel like it really captures what happens when you're trying to do something outside of God's will; you get a different set of problems. The guy is trying so desperately to find love in the wrong place and by doing so he is just hurting himself. It really breaks my heart! Please know that God loves you and he really wants the best for you! I know it can be hard to believe at times, but it's true! John 3:16
The queer representation we need! Can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like this. I also love the placement of the home being within an empty warehouse, great analogy, I see you 👏🏻
I was not expecting Ms. Charles to come thru like this 👏
The dancing… i mean WOW! The lyrics, emotional. the video BEAUTIFUL! what a powerful message! just stunning!
This was absolutely breathtaking. the symbolism of there being no walls truly shows how vulnerable you become in these situations. I am so in love with every aspect of this.
Why is everyone a singer now
My makeup is ruined for work🥺 you can feel the emotion it’s so powerful. I absolutely love this you are so incredibly talented James ❤️❤️❤️ you’ve came so far and just keep rising and achieving greatness. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Love sister. Keep sister slaying💗💗💗
JAMES FREAKING CHARLES! Beauty guru, Influencer, KZreadr, MUA and makeup business brand owner and NOW an amazing singer…. You’re freaking slaying at life queen 💅🤴🎶 2024 will forever go down in history as the year James Charles truly made it! I’m so glad you never gave up on singing, all that hard work has paid off and you the hot topic on TikTok with everybody absolutely loving your music… now that’s a big FU to all the haters who said you’d never make it! Keep up the amazing work buddy
the people that still follow him are the people that doesn’t know what he did or the people that lost there login
The part that made me cry the most was when he was blocking the door.. such an amazing song. 🎧
The reason James Charles succeeds at his major projects is because he is truly a dedicated hard working individual. His work ethic and creativity is hard to find but he tries and tries until he gets it. I admire that.
Screaming crying shitting 😭😭😭🔥 this is actually soooo fireeee
James: can we just be friends? Ariana: we cant be friends
couldn’t stop crying after the first chorus. thank you, James ❤️🩹
