\"I had a general idea for the concept of the video but needed the brilliance and incomparable mind of @phillipchbeeb to fully create and realize it,\" he continued. \"Phillip and @makenziedustman really took this project on with care and thoughtful brilliance. Always in awe.\"

\"We wanted to create a piece about life, a fleeting journey, an impermanent dance between birth and death,\" the \"Dancing with the Stars\" judge added. \"Like the sands of time we eventually return to the earth. Yet, despite our transient existence, the essence of life lies in cherishing and embracing LOVE during our brief experience. The pursuit of LOVE and CONNECTION makes this journey all the more worthwhile. Even when we must say goodbye to our loved ones.\"

Hough then thanked O'Neal \"for letting us create to your stunning song my friend 🙏 ♥️.\"

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, O'Neal said he \"already knew it was going to be beautiful.\"

\"It's exactly what I'd hope for and a million times more,\" O'Neal said about the music video. \"It's not just a love song; it's a little bit of a life and death song. Like an overarching kind of song for the story of our lives.\"

Phillip Chbeeb and Mackenzie Dustman collaborated with Hough on the choreography. Dancers who starred in the music video alongside Hough and Erbert included Erica Klein, Jason Glover, Haley Jonae, Billy Mustapha, Lex Ishimoto and \"Dancing with the Stars\" pro Koko Iwasaki.
