With a staggering over 20 million views on YouTube, the music video for “360” has generated an incredible amount of buzz, matching the song’s infectious vibe. In fact, it has secured a nomination for a coveted Grammy award. Written and directed by the talented Aidan Zamiri, the visually stunning music video showcases more than 20 prominent influencers, actresses, music producers, YouTubers, models, and other notable content creators who bring their own charisma and style to the project.
“In the ‘360’ video, the focus was on uniting a group of exceptional girls who I believed truly embodied the spirit of the record, each one being unique and pursuing their passions on their own terms,” Charli explained during an engaging interview with WSJ. Magazine. “They represent various facets of creativity and individuality, like Alex Consani, Quenlin Blackwell, Gabbriette, and, of course, Julia Fox.”
The star-studded lineup for the music video also includes the likes of Matisse Andrews, Sakura Bready, Chloe Cherry, and Greer Cohen, among others. Some familiar faces such as Anna Collins, A. G. Cook, Emma Chamberlain, and Isamaya Ffrench further elevate the video’s appeal. Not to mention Blizzy McGuire, Tess McMillan, Salem Mitchell, Hari Nef, Peri Rosenzweig, Rachel Sennott, Chloe Sevigny, Richie Shazam, and Niki Takesh are also featured, showcasing a vibrant mix of creators across various platforms.
The music video kicks off with an ensemble of influencers and creators convened around a large dining table, passionately engaged in a comedic mission to “fulfill the prophecy of finding a new hot internet girl.” The humorous premise adds a unique layer to the visual storytelling, humorously declaring that if they fail, “our kind will cease to exist, forever.”
“Honestly, we were just being so silly [on set],” Charli revealed to WSJ. Magazine while reminiscing about the experience of creating the music video. “The vibes were thoroughly silly; it was chaotic in the best possible way. Once all those girls were in one room, it turned into a whirlwind of energy filled with TikToks and plenty of vaping that captured the essence of fun and spontaneity.”
