In the lyric video five fairy-like creatures can be seen dancing and floating in the air on, – what seems like, – the planet Chromatica. Each of these creatures represent a specific tribe: Jennie is Freedom Fighter, Lisa – Cyber Kid, Rose – Kindness Punk, Jisoo – Droplet Symbol (name of tribe associated with this symbol is still unknown), Gaga – Chromatica. Lyrics appear in the upper-left corner in both Korean and English alongside the face of the singer. Faces are seen morphing into different looks of each artist.

Sam Rolfes, director of the lyric video said on his Twitter that all characters were puppetted live in Virtual Reality. He also added that the creative team spent a long time flying around with them, getting to know their personalities and how they moved, so they could dance together.
