Synopsis
Speech Debelle performs as the video moves between intimate scenes of people at important turning points in their lives. Two teenagers share a charged encounter, a boxer prepares for a bout, an interfaith minister conducts a ceremony, and a woman gives birth with the help of a midwife. The separate stories gradually form a warm, human portrait of commitment, vulnerability and new beginnings, echoing the song's message of embracing love and life without hesitation.
