Toronto-based alternative R&B artist Puma June unveils a striking visual for “Nobody,” the newest video from her debut EP A Woman That They Want, released earlier this year. A genre-blending mix of smooth, empowering, and edgy elements, the track continues Puma June’s fearless exploration of identity, autonomy, and self-liberation.
A fashion-forward, surrealist piece of self-expression, “Nobody” investigates the tension between external judgment and internal limitation. Inspired by the “enemy within,” the video poses a haunting question: Is it the world boxing us in, or are we boxing ourselves? Puma June invites the viewer into her signature dream-like universe, one where expectations are twisted, and truth is uncomfortably – and beautifully – laid bare.
The title, “Nobody,” cleverly plays on “no body” and “nobody,” reinforcing the track’s themes of bodily autonomy, self-worth, and unseen power. Whether confronting shame, smallness, or fear, Puma June makes space for radical self-reclamation.
Shot in Los Angeles and directed by long-time collaborator Arden Grier, the video features a series of bold visuals – from tattooed brows to a surreal scene of swallowing herself. At one point, a now-infamous concept involving live ants turned into an unexpected pivot after a failed Amazon order and a search through Facebook ant groups. The solution? Ladybugs.
