Yungblud has shared a music video for his song “Zombie,” which stars Florence Pugh. The video, directed by Charlie Sarsfield, sees Florence embodying a doctor in the British NHS as she helps patients. She’s steadfast at work, but breaks down at home, with the video showcasing her with a pair of angel’s wings. Check out the official music video, as well, behind the scenes photos and screen captures below:
“The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before,” Yungblud explained in a statement. “It’s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it’s fucking scary.”
The musician recently spoke to Rolling Stone about his admiration for Pugh. “Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time,” he said. “I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.”
When Yungblud wrote “Zombie,” he envisioned having someone like Pugh as its visual lead. “The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British,” he told Rolling Stone. “I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she’s just a legend. You can tell, man. She’s just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking shit.”
