With Wallows’ debut LP Nothing Happens turning one year old a couple weeks ago, the trio of longtime friends returned last month with a one-off single called “OK” which today receives a playful video. Landing on an aesthetic somewhere between late-’90s hacker and early-’00s boy band, the fashion choices here are nearly as notable as the song itself.

“‘OK’ is a song about insecurities in a relationship; having a hard time accepting something that feels ‘too good to be true,’ but overall learning to embrace it and accept the love you’re receiving and focusing on returning it,” the band shared in a press release. “Now, given the state of the world and the health crisis we happen to be in at the time of the song’s release, we feel like the main line/hook of the song, ‘Can we get up and try to feel okay again?,’ sort of takes on a new meaning/purpose. The thought that no matter where we are or how alone and lost we feel right now, we can get up again and try to feel OK. We’re in it together.”

Watch the clip below for a brief respite between anxiously refreshing Twitter trending topics—and feel free to speculate on the “To be continued” disclaimer at the end of the video.
