Directed by duo Javier Castan and Eoghan O'Driscoll of Mutant (Zara Larson, David Guetta, Madison Beer), the tantalizing video finds BIBI and Becky G in pursuit of a secret rendezvous, taking audiences with them as they embark on their exciting endeavor. The adventurous and enthralling video shows us what BIBI and Becky G really mean when they say: “But if my boyfriend calls / We are friends, nothing more”. 

On her collaboration with Becky G, BIBI said, “When I first heard Becky G’s voice in ‘Amigos,’ I fell in love because it was so perfect. I pondered countless times on how to make this song shine even more and chose a slightly more dark approach. I made many changes unlike my usual style. I tried to create a blend of low and refreshing tones. Although the lyrics may be somewhat suggestive and promiscuous, I am not that kind of person. As a hopeless romantic, I have a knack for falling head over heels for that one special person and my loyalty knows no bounds.” 

Becky G continued, “Everyone knows how much I value collaboration and this song with BIBI presented a great opportunity for us to adapt our styles to work together. A blend of cultures, the track further proves music’s ability to transcend borders. I’m so excited for our fans to experience the crossroads of our creativity that creates an infectious beat that so many will enjoy.”

BIBI is a singer, songwriter, and actor based in South Korea. As one of the fastest-rising stars in Korea, she has amassed 5M+ monthly listeners on Spotify, and is the first South Korean female solo R&B artist to chart on US Top 40 radio, and break into the Top 30 (with the highest peak position being #29). BIBI’s hit single “BIBI Vengeance” from her debut album Lowlife: Princess Noir has 118M+ streams on Spotify alone and 47M+ views on YouTube. An earlier track from the artist titled “The Weekend” charted on All Access Top 40/Mainstream Cool Music, peaking at #3, and played on radio stations across the nation including KIIS LA, Ryan Seacrest’s “America’s Top #40,” Most Requested Live, and iHeart Radio’s “The Vibe.”
