[English]

Hey guys, Sam Tsui here

and this is the official dance music video for my song "There For You".

To create this video, we partnered with Samsung

who provided us this awesome phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

From filming and rewatching our dance rehearsals so I could learn the choreography,

to taking notes on the phone with this handy stylus

and coordinating with the creative team.

To even filming the music video itself,

our director Ryan Parma is going to be shooting the entire thing on this phone's 4K camera.

If you want to find out more about the Samsung Galaxy Note 9,

check out the info in the description below and enjoy the video!

THERE FOR YOU

DIRECTED BY RYAN PARMA

There for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

I see you well, got yourself someone brand new

He fills your cup, live it up, really suits you

I...

Just watch you chase that high

He picks you up, turns the key, takes you away

But he can't see what you need, what you don't say

I...

Don't think he's really on your side

Who's gonna be there for you

When it gets tough

Who's gonna be there for you

To give you what you need

Who's gonna be there for you

Is his love enough, is he everything you need

The way I used to be

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Through the glass, watch his hands on your body

Through the night, driving fast down the side streets

Now...

I'm watching all your walls come down

But he don't know you the way he pretends to

He's just a cameo, won't be there when you call

No he don't see you at all, ooh

Who's gonna be there for you

When it gets tough

Who's gonna be there for you

To give you what you need

Who's gonna be there for you

Is his love enough, is he everything you need

The way I used to be

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Who's gonna be...

Who's gonna be there when the music stops

Who's gonna be there when you're down to lift you up

Are you sure, are you sure that his love's strong enough

Wasn't my love strong, strong enough

Wasn't my love strong enough

Who's gonna be there when the music stops

Who's gonna be there when you're down to lift you up

Are you sure, are you sure that his love's strong enough

Wasn't my love strong, strong enough

Wasn't my love strong enough

Who's gonna be there for you

When it gets tough

Who's gonna be there for you

To give you what you need

Who's gonna be there for you

Is his love enough, is he everything you need

The way I used to be

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Who's gonna be there for you

There for you

There for you

Gonna be everything you need

Who's gonna be there for you
