The lyric video follows the same format of the original clip, seeing the "Back to Black" singer as she's posted up in a motel room before taking to the sunny yet seedy streets of Los Angeles for a stroll while reflecting on a former lover.
Throughout the video, there's a handful of sweet, candid shots of the six-time Grammy winner, in addition to more choreographed moments of her lip-syncing.
New moments in the visual include shots of her giggling and sticking her tongue out while kneeling on the motel room bed, adjusting her iconic beehive hairdo and coyly smiling and interacting with a man who's trying to get her attention on the street, in addition to other clips of b-roll.
