can we talk about how INCREDIBLE the dancers are??!!?!!
omg yesss
easton and erick are phenomenal 😍😍
my thoughts exactly !! sooo AMAZING
@@angeliquemalysko4272 Are they a dance duo themselves already?
@@JustDiscipline they dance in a lot together yes
This is a beautiful music video. Honestly, there’s something so humble about watching a music video, that doesn’t showcase the singer/artist as the main character. The singing is amazing, and I love how the dancers get the spotlight and are able to showcase their own talents and abilities. Such a masterpiece, this is a win for James Charles 👏
Humbling. Not humble.
It’s a pile of auto tuned crap
We do not care😂😂😂@@jamezxh
Stop glazing so much.
When he lifts him up high just to drop him.. I felt that.
lol
I know right that drop was personal lol

Yes!!! Omg
Can we talk about how EMOTIONAL that bridge intertwined into that quieter chorus “you said I was your everything” JAMES YOU ARE BORN FOR MUSIC.
Can we talk about how YOUNG those little boys were?

@@Marvell3000 yes please
bro the knock on the door at “they say insanity is to do something about a millions time” SHOOK MEEE this is amazing james!!!
My absolute favorite line. It sure struck a nerve
Noah Davis is a lyrical genius!
That part reminded me of when Michael Jackson would knock on the little boys' doors to join them... No relation, just a reminder
i cannot deny how beautifully this music video was made, from james’s captivating vocals to the brilliant actors choreo. Its just simply a work of art, well done. One doesn’t have to adore the person to be able to respect when there’s talent, and I have to give praise where praise is due 😊
The fact that the dancing tells more of a story than the song itself, is beautiful ❤️
genuinely might be the best music video i’ve ever seen. the dancing is so passionate and incredible. my jaw was quite literally on the floor.
you must've never seen Sia's music videos..
If this is the best you’ve ever seen you have not seen many or you have bad taste
Eminem better
If this was the best video you've seen, then imagine how low the bar is for your lmfao.
it doesnt have to be the best to be good, idk bout you fam but this shit was lit
James surprised all of us 🔥🔥
first reply luv ur chaneel!
Omg Erik!
I love your channel!
Yur
hey erik
I am just so incredibly impressed that despite all of the hate James endured for all of these years, this was such a slap to all of them and worked EXTRA hard to prove everyone wrong. He is far from a quitter and puts his everything into what he loves to do!
This actually made me cry, such beautiful singing and great dancers. Well done James ❤
GUYS IM CRYING WHAT😭
Same cs why is it so relatable
no because i just watched for the first time and i actually cried like the whole time
@@adambakkehaug9471 REAL, HE'S SO GOOD?
Hate him or love him,this song is actually reallyyyy good!!!
Agreed
isn’t he a pdf file 🤔
@@702d02he’s not
@@702d02Are you?
Right?! I’m so impressed! ❤️🎉 it made me gasp
This was absolutely breathtaking. the symbolism of there being no walls truly shows how vulnerable you become in these situations. I am so in love with every aspect of this.
Literally listening to this in a bus full of people... About to cry 😢❤ it touched my heart and it means ur doing something right baby boy🥰🥹
The dancers have me absolutely hypnotized... The words to the moves... I'm hurt in the best way...
crying throwing up SCREAMING!!!!! absolutely breathtaking. every single second😭😭😭😭😭😭🤍
I love you so much
@@JamesCharles I know many people through the years have been saying bad things about your singing, but this is a masterpiece. Is so great to see an artist do many different forms of art. I wish you the best. If you need me I will be listening to this song for the next 10-24 hours. Once again good job James. I wish you the best !!!!!
uhhhhh get help if you do that to just a song (just saying)
@@nerdygeek9865how about you grow up
@@Freyah_Hawthorne I think she need to
Love him or hate him this song and video is incredible 🙌
Am I the only one who thought the dancer was james 😅 but man this whole thing was emaculent 😮❤❤
THIS SONG AND CALL ME BACK ARE AMAZING
Did James Charles like ur comment
Yh he did
YESSSSS
Stream Taylor!
This is better!
James is probably the only celeb i know that uses his resources to improve his skill because he literally caught me off guard with this. Instantly added to my Spotify
@@betobarrientos4492 imma be honest I don't LMFAOOOOO I dont pay attention to them. But most of the ones I see don't carry themselves like james
Seeing the musical evolution of James Charles excites me and I love it, this song is undoubtedly art and it touched my heart
I was not prepared for this relatable masterpiece 😭😭
james, i dont think ive ever heard you sing so beautiful in my life. the dancing. the message. the emotion. its so beautiful.
“Are you entertained” hits different with earphones.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THE BACK AND FORTH THE PUSH AND PULL I FELT IT ALL. WELL DONE JAMES AND DANCERS AND PRODUCTION TEAM!!!
Is four inches small to you?
I honestly can't.....this was SO beyond breathtaking. I feel so proud and honored you shared this with us and allowed yourself to be so free and vulnerable with the lyrics.
Hi
This is so inspirational to me because for years people ridiculed James singing, most people would just give up. But he literally said I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna work hard and you'll see I can do this. And he did. I don't condone things that he has done but this is absolutely beautiful and the full song is even better than I expected it to be from the snippets. I am blown away. James, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, you did it dude. This is beyond stunning.
He hasn't done anything? You believe those liars talking to him then going to social media for clout?
its amazing how good music production is now that they can make anyone sound good! James probably did a lot of work to give them so many samples to work with so they could really Frankenstein a decent song out of it!
@@omgmo1962backhanded asf lmao
all of yall are bots istg ☠️
@fyodor6872 because we like the song? Like grow up
I am absolutely in love with this!! Amazing job James the vocals, choreography, everything is amazing!! This is beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😻
the part when he kept trying to come through the door was very powerful. THIS WHOLE THING WAS BEAUTIFUL!!
Not the fact that James and the actors ate that, such beautiful singing and songwriting, and can we talk about the choreography. goosebumps for sure.
This dance is BREATHTAKING the dancers did so well the choreography and set match the song perfectly!!! This almost made me cry it’s so good🥺
This song bout to have me crying😭
Omg this is so beautiful wtf James
People never get happy when others do something good. Instead of criticizing only the negative aspects of people, also criticize their positive aspects. James, you did a great job, congratulations, great.
Bro, you cannot call his actions "negative aspects"...The messages with little boys and the fact there has been no consequences... It's incredible
so beautifully choreographed.. i actually cried. such a smart move to let others be in the video
it choked me up as well
SAMEEEEE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This might be my favorite music video ever. The choreography, the music, the cinematography just fits so perfectly together. I’ve watched this so many times. Well done James👏🏽
I'm crying...wow!!!!!😭😭😭
This song is so good! As a dancer I love the choreography. I'm in awe of how good the dancers were able to convey emotion on their faces and how well they worked together to tell the story of the song! I couldn't look away the whole time I watched it!
Their dance was able to tell a story of turmoil and hurt. One knowing what they want and the other scared of what they want.
OMG BRO THE DANCING WAS JUST SO MUCH LIKE OMG!!! THIS SONG IS SO GOOD AND IT HAS SM MEANING! We love you James. *Dancers also good that was amazing*
i was NOT expecting it to be this good omg 😭
Why? He’s been very talented from the beginning doing bob ross shit on his face, to singing in front of thousands to surviving Jeffers star. What you expect? It’s perfection! And he killed it!
Omg i get the chills listening to this. Its just so beautiful
Literally crying.
JAMES THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, i absolutely couldn’t take my eyes off the music video, i really felt the emotions and teared up, please never stop making music, i actually really really love this 😭💗
THE BRIDGEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH🤧🤧🤧
It took the song to another level, love a good bridge. He did such a great job and Noah too!
I’m 42 and have lived a much longer life than most watching this but this was such a beautiful masterpiece! You can feel his raw pain and most importantly this is so relatable. This should be number 1. You will go far. Oh btw I’ve been watching you since like 2016. You have come so far. Congrats :)
9hrs?! 😭 JAMES 😭 I NEED TO SEE IT NOW
AHHHH HE LIKEDDDDD
I need to see it please 😭
It's on spotifyy
@@Austingraysings what abt Apple Music? 😢
@@dia.exclamationpointthat too
The part that made me cry the most was when he was blocking the door.. such an amazing song. 🎧
Speechless I’ve never really been a huge fan of James, but this song.. mhmm. *Master piece*
The way the dancers carried out your message. Just beautiful.
34 year old alcoholic here. Not your demographic at all. But here I am, and this is incredible. ALL PEOPLE from all walks of life will and can relate to this song. We've all been "friendzoned". James, I'm so happy to see you pouring your passion into something different, something new. This is ALL you, and your feelings are 101% valid. Oh, and those facial expressions on IG?? JUSTIFIED. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS PEOPLE. ❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think I’m about to cry my lashes off. The emotion in this song rocked me to my core 😭
James that was amazing you are so talented I wish I could be you one day just remember we support you in everything we love you❤❤
Don’t be a alcoholic do better bro
Wtf are you on about this is awful
yet again give james a hug, cause he is really opening old wounds with this😭😭😭
I'm literally stunned at how beautiful this was 😮
Nah I can’t even lie this song HITS SO HARD I’ve had it on repeat for literally the past 2 TWO HOURS 😭❤️. JAMES AND NOAH absolutely 8 literally ATE
THE DANCERS 😱😱 ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL 😩😍👑👏🏻
JAMES ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! This is literal art!!!
I’ve been with James for years, and seeing his passion for music and vocal skills evolve this much gives me goosebumps. This and call me back have me in a chokehold. I think we all see that James was destined to create art in more ways than one.
This is a masterpiece
Who ever composed this; deserves recognition. The lyrics and arrangements are beautiful and soulful
i am cryyiiiinngggg 😩😩😩 the hoodie getting roughed up each time they dance then finally he takes it off of him symbolizing how much he's been giving to this situationship and not getting anything back and how much he's lost himself breaks my heart 😩😩 waiit, another symbolism.. after the bridge when he lifts him up so high then drops him all the way to the ground.. it symbolizes how he feels when the person is around, they give you everything at that moment then when they leave they take it all away and you're left at your lowest, kinda like an addiction 😩
when James says beautiful and hits that note it is literally the best thing i have EVER heard! James this is THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD Instantly added on ALL of my music apps!!!!!!.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! i am shocked! JAMES!?!? THAT WAS SO GOOD! I knew that you could sing but oh my goodness that was beautiful. Props to those dancers too. You are so talented in so many different things. make sure to never let the people in the world get you down, because you are amazing and deserve so much! 💜💜💜
Yes, he is extremely talented in all the "other things"
OMG JAMES UR A GENIUS 🤯🙌, the last shot of “you” being next to a phone ☎️, still waiting / hoping he would CALL YOU BACK even after everything he put you through, is LITERALLY the cherry on top 😩🤌✨. The attention to detail is ON POINT. 3:47 for those that missed that sneaky detail 😎, here you go 😘
james the music video and song is truly beautiful. you’ve depicted a story that’s so relatable across the lgbtq community. you’ve grown so much and it shows, very proud. such an artist in many ways ❤
This song its soooooo good, i was literally crying while watching the music video😭. Pls make more songs James😭🙏🏽 YOU ARE A BLESSING!!!
I WAS JUST IN UR LIVE AND I CANT WAIT FOR THIS SONGGGGG thank you James for liking my comment, it means so much!! ❤ love the song btw!!!!
