![]() The colors in the MV are muted blue and gray, which creates a more somber atmosphere than “Jenga.” The lyrics center around a relationship that has already ended, and the narrator is looking back and realizing that she was petty and resentful after the breakup. ![]() The song accompanying the MV is a ballad with sincere and personal lyrics that reveal more to the scenes than what we may at first perceive: However, eventually we see memories of their break-up: she cries and begs to reconcile with her former lover, who rejects her in a cold-hearted manner. The female protagonist similarly looks back at their tender moments. The recollections start out romantic, showing them holding hands, feeding each other, and other typical scenes from a happy relationship, but then he comes back to the current reality in which he’s alone. The story begins with the main male character who is auditioning for an acting role while becoming lost in thought–he’s reminiscing on a relationship with an actress who has since become famous. Heize has a certain honesty in her songs she’s not afraid to appear vulnerable and admit to her faults and insecurities, which she expresses eloquently in “Jenga.” Heize brings that frankness to “Didn’t Know Me.” This MV is more on the realist side as we follow scenes of a relationship from its height to its end. “Don’t Know You” described taking a relationship for granted and, in this song, she talks about anticipating the end of one: The MV also references the teddy bear from her 2017 MV “Don’t Know You” as she watches black and white scenes of herself marrying the bear like it’s a faded memory. The MV is drenched in obvious visual references to the game of Jenga: she is balancing on tea cups, furniture, and Tetris-like blocks. These scenes create anxiety, and indicate the unsteadiness the persona is feeling with her current relationship. The color scheme of brown and red, along with retro televisions and record players, create a lively old school vibe perfect for the jazz single. Heize dresses in both masculine and feminine 1930s outfits while playing games with herself and standing on various unstable towers. In “Jenga”, the imagery is whimsical and plays heavily with game and tower metaphors. The MVs for the songs “Jenga” and “Didn’t Know Me” are both centered around the demise of a romantic relationship, which is also the theme for her comeback album Wish & Wind. But once you look at the lyrics, you find that the words are overflowing with emotion and pain. If you were just listening to the tone and beats, you’d always find her music soothing. No, it’s because there’s a certain calm and delicateness to the beats and her voice that’s completely relaxing and lullaby-like. ![]() ![]() Before you slap me, it’s not because I find it dull. Whenever I need music to fall asleep to I play Heize‘s music. ![]()
