Victorious (music video)
On August 25th, the music video to Victorious was uploaded to YouTube under Yung Lean's channel.
The video was directed by Aidan Zamiri, and produced by Object & Animal. It was filmed in London, England.
The video features both Bladee and Yung Lean together in a blank space doing various things such as sharpening a sword, dancing in front of and behind a gate, posing in front of a Rolls Royce car, with Whitearmor sitting in the back seat with the door open, and Lean sitting on a BMW Motorcycle. As the video progresses, ash falls on both Lean and Bladee, as their faces and clothes slowly get dirtier.
Bladee and Lean are seen wearing various outfits throughout the video, including Lean in a white knit sweater and a Jaded London Puffer Vest, as well as Bladee wearing a leather Avirex jacket and a white windbreaker jacket. All of the outfits seen throughout the video are mostly all white, likely to make the falling ash more visible. Styling was done by Jake Hunte.
Bullets (music video)
10 days after the track was released on streaming services, the music video for Bullets was uploaded to YouTube on September 5th, on the Drain Gang channel.
The video was directed, filmed, and edited by Yaona Sui.
The video features Yung Lean and Bladee nearby a forest, dancing together on a deck, and in front of and washing a white Nissan Silvia S15, modified with an angel wing spoiler. Lean is seen wearing a beret along with a white sweater and pants, while Bladee also wears a white sweater with stripes on the arms, a Burberry belt, and black washed jeans.
The video was seemingly filmed nearly a year before its release, as a picture of the two at the shoot for the video was posted on Lean's Instagram on October 5th, 2022.
