Actor Simu Liu recently released the official music video for his music single, ‘Don’t’.
Directed by Audrey Ellis Fox, the video shows the 34-year-old current ‘Barbie’ actor in a “variety of settings, mostly empty rooms and hallways,” according to Good Morning America.
The entire video is shot in black and white melancholic visuals that fit the song’s emotional energy.
Liu had released his debut song, ‘Hot Soup,’ in 2021, and continued on with his musical journey. He announced back in March this year that his lifelong dream is to become a musician.
The Chinese Canadian star is among many other Chinese and Hong Kong actors who developed a second career from their interest in music.
ABC News reports that Liu first posted about “Don’t” on Instagram in April.
He shared that “this song was written for all of the hard times in my life where I have questioned my worth and felt like an imposter. It is for every single person who ever has felt alone, different, heartbroken or hopeless. You are worthy. You belong. You MATTER.”
Several social media users including the Fung Brothers commented on Liu’s new music video, praising, “This song got feeling man! Been on repeat today.”
