On ‘Messy’, Rosé sings: “So, baby, let’s get messy / Let’s get all the way undone / Come over, undress me just like I’ve never been touched / Baby, I’m obsessed with you and there’s no replica / Maybe if it’s messy / Then you know it’s really love“.
Messy comes with an accompanying music video that sees the K-pop singer in various locations, including a bar where portions of the film was shot. Footage from the film – including scenes with Brad Pitt – is also shown in the video. Watch it below.
