Although her real-life story was one of unrequited love, Kiyoko was determined to give the music video a different spin “of what I’d always dreamt of seeing in a relationship between two best friends.”

The “Girls Like Girls” song and music video depicts a sweet and subtle love story between two best friends - one of whom is in a relationship with a boy.
