Corookisn’t quite sure what the meaning of “true love” is.

The moody track sees the musician expressing pause while entering a new relationship, knowing all too well that it could end at any moment. “I could say forever, but that s— sounds crazy / ‘Cause I’m not psychic even if you date me,” she sings in its chorus. “There’s things that just happen, a chance that we’ll lose it / I won’t be possessive, I won’t hold you to it / Maybe I’m a skeptic or maybe I’m realistic.”
Further explaining the video’s concept, Corook continues, “It flows in and out of drawings to real people. It is my commitment to finding true love in the truest way possible, somewhere in the grey area. Maybe I’m a skeptic or maybe I’m realistic.”
“Realistic” was released last month, and the guitar ballad arrived amid a busy 2022 for the Berklee graduate, who debuted earlier this year and has since dropped an EP titledAchoo!as well as several singles.
Speaking to PEOPLE earlier this year, Corook described her music as “2000’sGwen Stefanidoes acid and decides to write a Broadway musical about the Beatles starring Timbaland.”
