Helmed
by new filmmaker Jaig D. Guzman, the visuals showcase the
R&B/electro-pop artist having the time of her life with friends and a guy
she just met in the club.
“For
this music video, I was drawn to earthy tones, giving those late Y2K vibes,”
says the indie pop star. “What the
director brought was kind of a modern twist to all of these nostalgic inspo
that I had. I wanted the music video to really convey female empowerment.”
The
music video was shot in Metro Manila, with locations that include a
bohemian-inspired apartment and a neon-lit club.
“1Nightwitu”
is an island-tinged, dance-pop track that celebrates women empowerment and
encourages young ladies from varying cultures and upbringing to embrace their
sexuality and value their self-worth.
The
upbeat jam is penned by Ysa Yaneza herself, and co-written/produced by LA-based
artist Shubu, who has worked with international music acts such as Paul Cherry, Anna Burch, and Dorian Electra.
Grammy-nominated sound engineer Stuart Hawkes, who has shaped records by
artists ranging from Charli XCX and Disclosure to Lorde and Mabel, also
mastered the track, giving it a fuller, more intricate musical direction.
“1Nightwitu”
is the official lead single of her upcoming self-titled EP, YSA,
which follows her journey towards heartbreak, reinvention and womanhood.
