Music video
editThe music video for "Over You" was released on YouTube on 17 August 2016. It was directed by Markus Hofko. It is the first Safia video not to be directed by an Australian.[3] The clip focuses on the haunting effects that a breakup can bring, when you still feel the other person’s presence long after they’ve left your life, the surreal and at times eerie clip is a beautifully shot glimpse into the desperation of needing to get over someone.[4]
Critical reception
editNick Kelly from Project U described the song as "a big ball of stomping fun."[5]
