Speaking about the shoot, Alexandra, who is rumoured to be dating footballer Jermain Defoe, said: "I actually watched Rihanna to channel that. I watched her video for 'Wait Your Turn', which was something that inspired me. Plus, you just know that anything by Beyoncé is inspiring full stop. I did try and channel Rihanna and Beyoncé’s videos (in order) to be fierce and you know, they’ve got that swag so it’s always good to watch them for inspiration. "The song needed that as well because you’re telling a guy to get lost. It was a fun video and one that I’ve never really done before."
