On her official Instagram account Christine posted behind the scenes footage from the music video shoot. While Charli XCX, aka Charlotte Emma Aitchison, said, “GONE IS OUT NOW! …I am beyond proud of this song. It feels so true to me and to how I feel. People seem to think I’m this consistently confident person – but I’m shy and terrified quite a lot actually. This song really discusses those feelings of fear and anxiety and the frustrations that come in the aftermath of those emotions. I am beyond happy to have collaborated with @christineandthequeens on this song – it’s truly a dream come true! Chris, thank you for creating a safe space for me to feel immediately like I belong. Thank you for being so kind and such a brilliant and enthusiastic collaborator. You’re so inspiring to me and you make me feel confident and happy. I’m happy to have been able to talk and get to know you through this song. You’re one of my favourite artists and this collaboration is a dream come true!!! Ahhhh!!!! I’m so happy this is finally out!!!! Thank you to @nooniebao @lotusiv @agcook404 @nomakmusic and @geoffswan too!!!! 💗”
