Music video

Khalid revealed, "BMW has always been my favorite car growing up. In my childhood days, my mom had a 3 Series. It had a dark earthy green color. I always used to want to drive it. The first time that I got to drive it – finally! – I was doing driver's ed, so I was like "oh my God, I don't want to crash it." My first car was a BMW 4 Series Convertible that I loved so much. It was like my baby. Then I kept seeing an M6 drive past me on the road and I was like, "I got to step it up," and I got me an M6 and bought my mom a 5 Series. To me, BMW is power. When I'm driving, I feel like I control the road. And now, I'm heading to Coachella in this electric BMW i8. I'm grateful."
