How long did it take to make? The clip took one week of planning, one day to make and one week of editing.

Where did you film it? Clip was filmed in and around Yandina, QLD, in a creek, in an old abandoned shack and on a farm on the Sunshine Coast.

What's your favourite part of the clip? The heroine exacting her revenge of course! Some of those Harley riding scenes look pretty rad too though.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Current media and societal events definitely inspired wanting to stand up and make some noise while helping to raise awareness.

Will you be launching it? We launched the clip and single nationally this week to tie in with a six-week national tour.
