FLETCHER & Hayley Kiyoko Drop New Music Video for “Cherry”
American singer-songwriters FLETCHER and Hayley Kiyoko have dropped a new music video for “Cherry”.
The song was released in November. It was written by Hayley Kiyoko, Cari Fletcher, Jonah Shy and Mary Weitz. Produced by Jonah Shy.
The music video was directed by Kristen Jan Wong.
FLETCHER told ELLE about the video, “I had a great time with Cari. We both obviously are friends and we get along so well, so it was a super fast shoot. I mean, most video shoots were super quick. So you were just running around chaotically in a timely manner, but I had so much fun.”
Hayley Kiyoko said, “We had cherry candy and there were cupcakes and cookies. I think the worst part about that, though, was that I am gluten-free, so I didn't eat any of the things that were on set, which I was bummed about. I just kept licking icing. I'm like, “I'm going to throw up after this video.” But it was really fun, but it was quick. We know what we are there to do.”- FLETCHER continued, “I think, honestly, the intention behind making this song was just to bring joy. I think it's been a really, really rough year and a bit for people and to be able to have a song that just feels like serotonin, to even be able to just make that for myself, was really important for me. And I think we wanted to make a visual that represented that energy of just celebration. And even though things have been quite dark and times have been really difficult, there's still a lot of light and beauty and joy to be had. I think that's something that's important for both Hayley and I, and always has been. And to also make people feel like they're able to be themselves and to celebrate themselves.”
