Background[]
The routine takes place in a small coastal village on Sun Horizon.[3] The routine begins with the title card, accompanied by a vibrant scenery of a yacht leaving on the clear turquoise ocean water, along with a wooden pier connected to some small thatched-roof huts and palm trees.
The dancers are introduced in a courtyard, where buildings are painted in shades of yellow, blue, pink, orange, green, and purple, with arched doorways and windows, wrought-iron balconies, overgrown vines, hanging clotheslines, and clay-tiled rooftops. The cobblestone-paved courtyard also features a stone fountain, free-leaning bicycle next to a directional wooden sign, several benches, potted plants, yellow pine trees, and palm trees.
As the song progresses, floral patterns can be seen on the walls of the buildings and underneath our dancers, appearing and shrinking to the flow of the song. The time of day also changes, as the sun shines morning lights at the beginning, and dawning orange lights at the end of the routine. At the end of the routine, Rodrigo walks away from Adora, breaking up with her as he needs to go back to his home city and the relationship was not meant to last beyond the summer.[3] Adora is heartbroken, but her best friend Nessa comes in to drag her offscreen to cheer her up.[3]
