She plays two different characters in the video: a curt-haired Cosmic adult female and a colorful Flamenco dancer.[eight] The characters are quite opposite in their portrayal, which is emphasized by two opposing settings for the characters. Firstly, the video shows a sparsely busy room with an altar and pictures of Hispanic people on the wall.
