Music video

edit

The music video for the song was directed by Josh Sikkema. A four-day shoot, the video was filmed in early January 2019 in Belitung and Sumatra. The video premiered on April 20, 2019 via Vevo and made available for purchase the next day.

Following the release of "With You", the pulsating[1] "Down" was chosen as the next single to receive the visual treatment. Directed by Josh Sikkema, the song finds Mýa singing the importance of love's devotion in scenic views of Indonesia. While the video is shot in the South Pacific, its chorus has a Caribbean feel.[2]

Love you all."[2] The music video for "Down" officially premiered 3 p.m. EST and 12 p.m. PST via Vevo.[3] Following the video's release on Vevo, "Down" was made available for purchase on iTunes April 21, 2019.[4]
