Rising artist Se.A takes us on a deeply personal journey with the release of her new single “sAd sOng,” now accompanied by a one-take, visually striking music video. Filmed on a Berlin playground discovered on a spontaneous walk, the video is as raw and emotional as the song itself—capturing Se.A’s heartfelt performance and her uncompromising creative vision.
With lyrics Se.A describes as “probably one of my favorite lyrics I’ve written so far <3,” “sAd sOng” redefines what a sad song can be and taps into a sadness that’s universally relatable yet uniquely personal. This is not your typical love story, nor does it follow the predictable path of heartbreak anthems. Instead, Se.A invites listeners into her world of candid vulnerability. “It’s a sad song,” she explains, “and it’s not about your love story.”
The video, shot in a single take, reflects the same raw spontaneity that inspired its setting. Se.A braved the filming process for hours until exhaustion set in—a dedication fans will see in her captivating final moments. “I shot the video until I literally almost threw up lol (watch the ending!),” Se.A shared. Her commitment to authenticity shines through, adding a visceral edge to the song’s already profound impact.
Written, composed, and arranged by Se.A (with the collaboration of no2zcat on the arrangement), “sAd sOng” shows a young artist fully in control of her sound and vision. From penning the lyrics to overseeing every element of production, Se.A has crafted an intimate piece that resonates with anyone who’s felt loss, confusion, or the bittersweet edge of melancholy.
