In the music video, Cynthia Erivo (from the Broadway revival of The Color Purple) and Tika Sumpter (of Southside With You) play a lesbian couple living to love.

The video shows the two women enjoying chill time in bed, traveling in their jeep, and partying it up together.

"This video is about love. I wanted to show two people doing the everyday things that every single couple does,” Smollett said in a statement.

“I see nothing but beauty through the eyes of these characters we’ve created. I hope everyone else does as well. Love is freedom. Freedom is love.”
