DPR IAN has unveiled an emotional video for ‘Nerves’, a cut off his freshly released solo EP ‘MITO’.
In the clip, the Korean-Australian singer – real name Christian Yu – recalls a painful breakup that leads him to spiral out of control. He spends most of the video wandering the city streets alone, drinking and smoking as he wallows in his emotions.
“Hi how you doin’ / I heard you seem to be happy now / Hi how you doin’ / Don’t worry ’bout me ‘’cause I’m doing fine,” he laments on the song.
“I took it back to the moments leading up to the transformation into mito ~ where he was at his most vulnerable !” DPR IAN wrote about the music video’s concept on Instagram. “Through a painful mistake ! It would lead him on a split path.”
