The video opens to an orange-tinged sky from the view of a moving car. Then the camera switches focus to show Jungkook in the front seat against the backdrop of clouds amidst the setting sun, giving the impression of riding in the sky.

The whole video is simple and straightforward, the camera switching between close-ups of the members in the running car, who are all reclining lazily while whistling to the tune of DNA. One by one, the other members show their faces, beginning with RM whistling in the backseat, J-Hope nodding to the tune, Jimin and V tapping to the beat, and Suga dozing off in the sun. Captured in the light of the sun, the video emits a surreal atmosphere, capturing the smooth and effortless riding experience of the Palisade.

Boasting unequaled features and carrying that unique signature BTS atmosphere of sly aloofness, perfectly suited for the relaxed theme of the Palisade experience, with this Palisade promotion, BTS proved themselves to literally be more than just idols, but the ideal face to all that is good and admirable.
