Lauv wrote “The Other” in the middle of a first real heartbreak, and the official video, directed by Tobias Nathan, hands that feeling to Sarah Stephens. She is the woman in the frame. The picture that stays is almost a silhouette: two profiles, a breath before a kiss, a scrap of blue light behind them.
It is her face in the dark, calm and close. The whole video treats her like the person the song cannot stop looking at.
