Rexha appears to be holding a black powder compact a distance away from her face which she is looking into. The scene is set in front of a brick wall and some plants. There is text which reads "Sad Girls" displayed across Rexha's hairline, and "Bebe Rexha" and "David Guetta" spaced an even distance apart on the line below this across the top of Rexha's forehead, all in a bold pink font.
