The video\u2019s fantasy elements escalate as the song grows in tension: \u201cIn the night I\u2019m wild eyed, and you got me now\/Dim the lights, we\u2019re wild eyed, and you got me now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Wild Roses\u2019 shows an introverted side to the album and is inspired by what it is like to lean into your sadness,\u201d Nanna said in a statement. \u201cWe wanted to capture that feeling in a performance for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/music-video\/\" id=\"auto-tag_music-video\" data-tag=\"music-video\">music video<\/a> while bringing out a bit of uneasiness as well. So we brought on choreographer Stella Rosenkranz to help create the movements you see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continues, \u201cWe also knew that we wanted to shoot the video in water with a bit of blood. To achieve this, director \u00de\u00f3ra Hilmars immediately came to mind. We had talked about working together for years and knew she would be perfect for a scandi horror inspired music video. The video was shot in a span of 12 hours in a beautiful and eerie swimming pool in Hafnaf\u00f6r\u00f0ur, Iceland, hours before going to the airport and starting our Fever Dream tour. We\u2019re very happy with the outcome and are truly excited to share this with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWild Roses\u201d is a track off the band\u2019s latest album,&nbsp;<em>Fever Dream<\/em>, released this past July.
