A music video for the song was released. It was directed by JMP. In the video, Geneva Ayala appears in a forest. She is tearing apart and eating a man's dead body and heart. She walks out of the forest, naked and covered in blood. The man who she is eating is believed to be X since the body is wearing the same clothes X was in his "Moonlight" music video.[6][5]
