Discussing the process of putting the two together, Katie says: “The Barking Dog video is a play on the saying ‘don’t beat yourself up, kid’, which is basically the thesis of the song. Our director Ryan was like ‘what if you just punched yourself in your face for 3 minutes straight?” and I was like “fuck it, why not?’”
“We shot visuals for 4 songs total the day we shot the Barking Dog video, but we saved it for last purposely. We were both exhausted in a way that felt loopy and right. Most of the crew had gone home for the night so it was just us two in this little weird bathroom ready to rumble. We did three takes and by the end of it all I was pretty teary. I don’t know that I will ever forget being in that bathroom with my pal feeling very safe and understood while simultaneously scared of my own feelings.”
