The music video doubles down on the theme of people coming together despite distance and differences. вЂњMy Universe,вЂќ on the other hand, embraces the science fiction aesthetics of working class space operas like Space Sweepers or Guardians of the Galaxy, with some (and I mean this as a compliment) Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century thrown in for good measure. Also directed by Meyers-it has a speculative fiction premise in which Styles has a literally blinding smile, falls in love with a fish, and is able to power his sailboat using the winds of his jarred yells, but keeps its visuals down to Earth to tell its fairy tale-like story. A great example of the latter is Harry StylesвЂ™ вЂњAdore YouвЂќ video. High-concept, genre-driven music videos are par for the course in the visually immersive world of K-pop, but are less common in western music videos, which (save for some outliers, like Janelle MonaeвЂ™s funky, political sci-fi adventures) have more вЂњgrounded,вЂќ realistic aesthetics, even when they skew fantastical. The вЂњMy UniverseвЂќ music video/short film is directed by Dave Meyers, an American filmmaker best known for his commercials and music videos, which include MVs for artists Drake, Ed Sheeran, Pink, Normani, Ariana Grande, and many, many more. In spite of the ban, and with the help of a space DJ, the groups come together for a high-energy, galaxy-spanning performance of their new song. BTS and Coldplay went fully, gloriously sci-fi in the music video for their collaboration, вЂњMy Universe.вЂќ In the new music video, released at midnight on September 30th, the two bands exist in a futuristic reality where music is forbidden.
