Clare GillenJulia Michaels has released a heartbreakingly beautiful new video for her duet with Niall Horan, “What a Time.”
The clip, set in a room overgrown with flowers and plants, starts out with Julia sitting back-to-back with a man facing away from the camera so we can’t see who he is. The man is not, in fact, Niall — instead, he’s a figure representing a past love.
As Julia reminisces about the former relationship, she grows more emotional but the male figure remains unmoved. We then see the two of them sitting on a couch, but as Julia cuddles up to the man, he appears stoic.
Julia eventually breaks down crying as she sings the lines, “I think of the night in the park/it was getting dark and we stayed up for hours/What a lie, what a lie, what a lie.”
“What a Time” is featured on Julia’s new EP, Inner Monologue Part 1.
