Why it worked

The video succeeds by juxtaposing a highly emotional, dramatic song with a mundane, relatable setting and a simple, encouraging text overlay.

Summary

A creator performs a comedic, dramatic lip-sync to Harry Styles' 'Sign of the Times' while climbing onto his kitchen counter. The video uses the song's emotional tone to contrast with the mundane setting of a kitchen.
