Shura — 'What's It Gonna Be?'

  • June 1, 2016
  • Popjustice

In case you're inter­ested, and this is a really good video so you're probably at least slightly inter­ested, this is what Shura has to say about the video: "'What's It Gonna Be?' is about having a massive crush on someone, so it made sense to go back where to school, where it all began. But it was important for us to explore those archetypal char­ac­ters — The Jock, The Nerd, The Dork, The Popular Kid — and then flip expect­a­tions. 'What's It Gonna Be?' is based on my personal exper­i­ence as a kid; thinking you're in love but then realising that's maybe just because you feel you should be (and ending up with someone totally unex­pec­ted)."
