In the post, Zendaya mentioned that this was her first time leading a film in this manner and that she has been feeling nervous. The videos included Zendaya working out with a bouncy ball and training on a tennis court, O'Connor flipping a water bottle, and Faist in hair and makeup.
The final video featured O'Connor and Faist kissing a tennis racquet with Zendaya's wig, referencing a scene from the trailer that went viral.
