Keep it raw and authentic. Use the lyrics to frame a relatable POV or a creative process.

Looks like a fit for: Gen Z creators, artists, and fashion enthusiasts

• Do: Sync your primary visual transition to the 0:08 mark.
• Do: Use text overlay to share a relatable 'overthinking' thought.
• Do: Keep the camera movement handheld and casual.
• Do: End the video with a direct look into the face cam.
• Avoid: Don't use high-production studio lighting; keep it raw.
• Avoid: Don't let the video run past 19s; the loop is the hook.
• Avoid: Don't use generic stock footage; keep it personal.

Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no claim about which will perform better.
