ISSA Remix · Directed by @AILEX Paul
Ride With Me is the second installment in the Let's Get Away series — a chill R&B/pop-rap performance video built around a single cinematic idea: @ISSA and @BAIRRY leaving a grand Mediterranean resort in @ISSA's pearl-white Cadillac convertible and disappearing into the golden-hour cliff roads of Lighthouse Beach, Hawaii. @ISSA drives her own car; @BAIRRY rides shotgun — a small detail that gives the lyric “you on my right” its literal truth in Verse 2.
Character, location, and key-scene references. Pass these through Higgsfield as identity locks to keep @ISSA, @BAIRRY, and the resort visually consistent across all 40 generations.
The vehicle is treated as a third lead. Seven reference angles for aerial, wrap-around, side-tracking, rear-following, and interior shots — feed the relevant one into each shot's generation as a vehicle-identity lock.
Seven sequences, mapped beat-for-beat to the song's intro, choruses, verses, breaks, and outro. Jump to any sequence:
“Yeah… I still remember that perfect day, in September, the air, the scenes, the ocean — that was when our hearts moved in slow motion.”
Director's intent. Establish the world. The drone is the eye of the memory — we drift down from the sky, through the front doors of the resort, and into the moment everything is about to begin.
“Ride with me, come on and ride with me, top down by the sea, no rush, no place to be. Ride with me, come on and ride with me, lost in the memory, when it’s just you and me.”
Director's intent. ISSA and BAIRRY make their entrance. The chorus is the heartbeat — we want confidence, poise, the feeling that everyone in the room is watching.
“Ride with me / Ride with me” → “I remember, back in September, sunset glow, and the perfect weather. Malibu flow, ridin’ slow together, laughin’ ’bout nothin’, couldn’t feel better. Stereo hummin’, that old-school groove, miles of coastline with nothin’ to prove. Every turn just led to a new view, incredible and beautiful, just like you.”
Director's intent. The vehicle is a character. We treat the @CADDY_1 like the third star of the show — staged on the diagonal, beauty shots from every angle, then the upward-opening doors that signal we are firmly in the world of the music video now.
“Ride with me, come on and ride with me, top down by the sea, no rush, no place to be. Ride with me, come on and ride with me, lost in the memory, when it’s just you and me.”
Director's intent. The gullwing-style door open is the signature money shot of the intro. We sell the car as smart, futuristic, alive. Then they’re in and we depart — ISSA at the wheel of her own machine.
“Palm trees wavin’, city lights hazin’, you on my right, whole world rearrangin’. Hand on mine when the night got cold, young in the heart but the souls felt old. Talked ’bout life, talkin’ wild ambitions, future wide open, no intermissions. That stretch of road was a piece of art, and every mile left a mark on my heart.”
Director's intent. The heart of the video. The drive itself. Cinematic scenery, intimate moments inside the car, the relationship between ISSA and BAIRRY made visible without dialogue. Lyric note: “you on my right” is literally true now — BAIRRY is in the passenger seat to ISSA’s right.
“Ride with me, come on and ride with me, top down by the sea, no rush, no place to be. Ride with me, come on and ride with me, lost in the memory, when it’s just you and me.”
Director's intent. Harmonies kick in. Visuals open up. The most cinematic, most emotional part of the video — building toward the scenic overlook arrival. Aerials and wrap-arounds earn their keep here.
“The sun went down, but the feeling stayed, in my mind that September glow will never fade.”
Director's intent. Bring it home. Romance, stillness, the lingering memory. End the video on a frame people will want to screenshot.
