She then appears walking down a rainy lane, snapping her fingers to halt the rain. “I travel and fall in love / just like a drunken Tuesday / I always go everything, everything is in / from the steering wheel / hit the ground so much / if I am alone, falling, flying, file” / “We should not talk about it,” she sings, illuminated on the dance floor.
Dua Lipa then appears like a shooting star, dressed in a sleek cloak with a shimmering gown. The video features both singers dancing and singing together in a studio, culminating in them lying on a glimmering heart-shaped structure. It concludes with a spectacular fireworks display.
In addition to “Handlebars,” Jenny’s album “Ruby” also features the singles “Like Jenny,” “Mantra,” “Listen of Love” featuring Dominic Fic, “Zen,” and “Extral” featuring Doechii. Other collaborators on “Ruby” include Dua Lipa on “Handlebars,” fkj on the intro, and Childish Gambino and Kali Uchis on “Damn.”
In a four-star review, NME shared: “After many years of studying everything: from her persona to facial expressions, Jenny turned the lens back to herself with ‘Ruby,’ where she exercises control over her own narratives with striking clarity. She establishes herself not just as a global star, but also as a deeply aware artist, intentionally shaping her sound and vision, signaling genuine growth.”
