According to Molly, the entire experience felt almost too perfect to be real.
“Obviously Drake hit me up and said Future said your name, we gotta get you on this song,” she explained. “And I was like, ‘This has to be destiny.’”
The collaboration quickly became one of Molly Santana’s biggest career moments so far. Especially once filming began for the song’s high-budget music video. While reflecting on the shoot, she described the production as both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
“It was fire,” she said. “I never shot a video that big of a production. It was a lot of fog. I woke up with a crazy migraine and I was the only one breathing it in. I was getting hotboxed by all the fog.”
