Music video

The music video for the song featured a spaceship-like area. In this area, people are running away to containment chambers after finding a dead body to protect themselves. Originally, the singer follows the others, but reveals to the audience that she was the one who attacked. She enters a chamber and her eyes flash red. The video was released February 21, 2018, on the singer's YouTube channel.
