Fresh off consecutive No. 1 iTunes J-Pop wins in the UK and United States, 20-year-old singer-songwriter Olivia Millin unveils the official music video for her empowering single “TTYL”.
Shot beneath the neon blaze of Times Square and directed
by Zane of Zane Productions, the clip translates the track’s message of self-respect and liberation into a vivid street-dance celebration.
“‘TTYL’ is about telling toxic people that their time in your headspace is over,” Millin explains. “I wrote it as a letter to my past self—an anthem for anyone ready to choose self-love over someone else’s emotional baggage.”
