A young woman stands in the middle of a street at sunset, playing an acoustic guitar and singing a cover of Shawn Mendes' 'Treat You Better'. Palm trees line the street, and cars are parked on the sides.

Why it worked
The video works due to the raw, authentic performance in an unconventional setting (the middle of a street at sunset). The clear vocals and guitar playing, combined with the aesthetic background, create an engaging and intimate experience for viewers. The popular song choice also helps with discoverability and relatability.
