Halsey and Marshmello unveiled their dreamy music video for the track Be Kind on Saturday.
The colorful new music video, which was shot during the COVID-19 quarantine, began with the 25-year-old hitmaker appearing in just an oversized pink t-shirt and white knee-high socks.
As she paraded her toned legs, the two-time Grammy nominee immediately flaunted her sultry dance moves and rose-hued hair in an empty concrete building.

Eventually, she gets up from her chair and starts gliding on her toes around a warehouse apartment.
‘I don’t know why you hide from the one / And close your eyes to the one / Mess up and lie to the one that you love,’ she croons, before drifting off to a flowery park.
As she strokes a yellow daisy across her face, she twirls around and flips her lengthy tresses, which were styled in loose waves, around an anime-inspired landscape.

Backdrop: On Friday night, she teased the dropping of the video with a photo of her surrounded by wispy clouds and a shirt that read, ‘Be Kind’

When asked if this was shot before she injured her ankle in May, she admitted she was actually dancing on her injury.
‘I’ll tell u guys more about it soon but this video was wild to create. Learning choreo on FaceTime, then I broke my ankle, we used a Bolt camera so it was all programmed beforehand so there wasn’t a human physically operating it, the team that rendered the worlds. It was wild!’ she said in another tweet.
