An animated music video for "How Do I Make You Love Me?" was released on July 22, 2022. It was directed by Jocelyn Charles with some creative direction from Cliqua.
Synopsis The video's events take place after the video of another song from
Dawn FM, "
Out of Time", with a masked Tesfaye in a hospital. As Tesfaye attempts to escape while being held back by hospital staff, his arm is ripped out, before he jumps out of a window. After Tesfaye lands on the floor, a terrified driver runs him over as butterflies and insects fly out of his eyes. A large moth then appears and causes the pedestrians to go into flight by flapping its wings, before Tesfaye blows up a balloon version a himself, which engulfs the city. Tesfaye escapes through the sewage system, where he faces a demon-like creature and loses more of his limbs. He later is seen attempting to break into a woman's house, before his head falls off and his body is dismembered, revealing a child version of himself.
Reception Rolling Stone called the video "nightmarish", further writing that the video had the "perfect ingredients for a nightmare," mentioning the giant moth and the dismemberment present in the video.
Vibe wrote that the video is an exploration of "beauty behind the madness of love, life, mortality, and youth". == Live performances ==
