The MV features Riverdale-fame Charles Melton as Jennie's lover looking at her in a grave. However, the singer returns back from death as she is not ready to leave him yet. It sounds romantic but isn't really the case. Jennie stars as a person who keeps getting into crazy situations whenever there's an opportunity for a fun or romantic date with her lover.

In the music video, Jennie stars as a lover who is unable to get over her "love hangover." She keeps messing things up in the relationship but can't let the beloved go at any cost. She swears and says, "I'd never do it again," but ends up doing the same things again and ruining their moment. She even started lying to him and the relationship got toxic yet the two of them couldn't leave each other.

Watch the MV here:

The MV opens with Charles Melton giving an emotional speech describing his and Jennie's love on her burial day. We see a heart-shaped graveyard with "JENNIE LOVE HANGOVER" written on it. Through the lines, "I'm over, I'm so over/This love isn't over," she expresses that her love for him will be alive even after her death. However, it isn't as romantic as it sounds.

Dominic Fike's verses, "One minute, we're growing apart, and next I'm in her apartment," portray their lack of communication and trying to let things pile up for later. Even though they do not have heartfelt conversations like other couples, they still get a "love hangover" after spending time with each other. From choking on an engagement ring to flying away with a heart-shaped balloon and reaching a height where Jennie gets struck by lightning, bizarre happenings in the MV depict their unstable relationship.

With brilliant use of imagery and symbolism in the entire MV, the BLACKPINK member has showcased her musical knowledge once again.

Her debut studio album, Ruby, which includes Love Hangover, will be released on March 7. She will also have Ruby live shows in Los Angeles, New York and Seoul in the same month from March 6-10.
