Why it worked

The video's success likely stems from its creative concept of reimagining a popular song in a different style (Disney movie soundtrack), combined with the engaging split-screen duet format. The relatable lyrics and the creator's performance also contribute to its appeal.

Summary

The creator performs a cover of Shawn Mendes' song "Stitches," imagining it as a song from a Disney movie. The video is split-screen, with the creator singing on one side and a collaborator, "Chris," appearing on the other side, lip-syncing and acting out the song's lyrics.

On-screen text

This is Stitches by Shawn Mendes if it was out of a Disney movie featuring chris! i thought that i'd been hurt before but no one's ever left me quite this sore your words cut deeper than a knife now i need someone to breathe me back to life got a feeling that i'm going under but i know that i'll make it out alive if i quit calling you my lover and move on you watch me bleed until i can't breathe shaking falling onto my knees and now that i'm without your kisses i'll be needing stitches tripping over myself aching begging you to come help and now that i'm without your kisses i'll be needing stitches

Stitches by Shawn Mendes with my boy @Christopher Angel 🎤! Thanks so much for collabing on this with me brother, it was fun! This song’s also so musically dope. It’s harmonically simple, so it was really intuitive to rearrange, but it’s also so pretty, I found I had so much room to color inside the orchestration. Some songs just speak the language. #composer #cover #shawnmendes #stitches
