Plot

The music video for the song accompanied its release the same day as the album, premiering on Grande's YouTube channel. It was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and features Riverdale actor Charles Melton and model Ariel Yasmine.

The video begins with a blonde-wigged Grande arriving in a club. She sees Melton and his girlfriend Yasmine, who looks similar to Grande, wearing her signature ponytail, arriving at the club and dancing together. The couples notice Grande staring at them and invite her to dance with them, which she proceeds to do--intimately. Later that night, the couple shares drinks with her at the bar and invite her to their house party the following night, although Grande is jealous of their romance. The next night, Grande arrives at Melton and Yasmine's house party wearing her usual hairstyle and a black outfit similar to Yasmine's, startling Melton. She follows the couple around the house, and Melton and Yasmine separately stare at her without the other knowing. She watches as the couple kiss in front of her poolside and at the lounge. At one point, Grande stares at herself in the bathroom mirror--but Yasmine appears instead of her own reflection. By the video's end, Melton and Yasmine are together at one side of the pool while Grande is alone at the other side watching them. She proceeds to lean towards Melton and seems to make a move on him, but suddenly turns towards Yasmine and they lean in to kiss (though the video cuts to black before they do).—TheAmericanIdol
