The clip features Alessia singing and three cheerleaders doing a routine, cut with footage of people experiencing various “relatable disappointments.”
Among them: “when your hair has other plans,” “when the kiss does not have sparks,” “when everything is broken,” “when he shows up an hour late,” “when you realize you made a huge mistake” — depicted as waking up next to a less-than-desirable guy — and “when you ‘don’t need’ the recipe,” which results in burned cookies.
“Rooting for You” is from Alessia’s new EP, This Summer. As Billboard notes, John Mayer was such a fan of the track when it was released that he posted it on his Instagram Story and wrote, “Meanwhile, I only wish I had written this. Now that’s what I call a hook.”
