An accompanying music video premiered on Max's YouTube channel on April 28, depicting her sunbathing in the snow, transforming into an arcade video game character and going skiing. For further promotion, the singer delivered a performance at the Los 40 Music Awards in Spain on November 4, winning the Best Video category award.
