In an Instagram put up saying the music’s launch on Tuesday (March 12), the 23-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith described the video for the music as one thing “for all the attractive individuals who have ever gone into nature with their mates & been guided to a deeper understanding of life collectively by plant drugs 🌱🌞 I hope this music and visible can convey catharsis to anybody who experiences them.”
The character-forward visible — which Smith directed — begins with Smith and two mates strolling in a forest, the place the singer finds, and discards, a snail shell earlier than laying on her again within the leaves to start her Tori Amos-like musings concerning the mysteries of the universe. “Pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise/ you now I’m questioning who am I/ If I might attempt to take you again/ I couldn’t outline feeling/ Absence of time/ Realizing all is determined there’s nothing right here left to seek out/ The story’s all in my thoughts/ Pushing and peeling the layers that cowl my thoughts/ Wanting into the shadow now I discover the sunshine/ Magic is actual if you see it inside,” Willow sings over a loungey backing monitor that trades the guitar-heavy sound of her earlier effort for piano and jazzy drums.
By video’s finish, Willow is smiling whereas laying on a patch of grass surrounded by a forest of colourful flowers. Earlier within the week she posted the lyrics, explaining to followers that she needed to offer them time to “deeply digest the phrases earlier than diving into the entire composition.” At press time Willow had not revealed if “Symptom” is a one-off like her equally introspective, jazz-influenced November single “Alone,” or if the songs are destined for what can be her sixth full-length solo studio album.
