Earlier this year, we talked to Mila Bea about her incredible debut of album Part of Me. During the wide-ranging interview, the 16-year-old singer-songwriter described filming a VR / 360 music video for the title track and 2nd single taken off her LP.

"We actually ended up doing a 360 video… but with multiple Milas. I didn’t even think it could get crazier. Of course - I didn’t come up with the idea, I didn’t even think things like that existed! It was all executed perfectly by the talented Stefan Lim, who specialises in 360/VR videos - his skill and passion for his craft work hand in hand," the young artist shared.

Well, her MV is finally here, and it's as stunning as we imagined! It features many versions of Mila, including "artsy Mila", "anxiety attack Mila", "therapist Mila", and a drama king named "Milo".
Notably, Mila is the first female artist in Southeast Asia to do this video concept.
During Hear65's chat with her, she also revealed how the song came about:
"Funnily enough, when I first drafted ‘Part Of Me’, I didn’t really like it. I put it far back in my notes app and didn’t bother looking at it again, until one day at the studio when we were brainstorming which song to work on next. I played ‘Part Of Me’ on a whim, and everyone seemed to fall in love with it! I think one of the reasons why I didn’t like ‘Part Of Me’ initially was because it was so raw and open. This was at the beginning of the journey with the album - I think I was 13 here? But I really appreciate ‘Part Of Me’ now because it helped me to embrace vulnerability in my music."
