Hailee Steinfeld Washes Away Her Sorrow In 'Wrong Direction' Video

Hailee Steinfeld's new video for "Wrong Direction" is simple and emotionally scarring. It's an extreme closeup of her face as she sulks in a tub, destroyed by revelations that her last relationship sucked. The water flows around her as her skin prunes, yet she's oblivious to what's going on. She's can't feel anything except a heavy chest.


Steinfeld's visual zooms in tight to present her unwavering frown. Tears stream from her eyes as she holds herself in the water, desperately attempting to wash off the pain that an ex-lover has caused her. She never succeeds because, ultimately, that what breakups do to us. They change the way that we think and make us sulk for a while. This tub is also indoor of her mind. She'll exit it physically, nevertheless there's routinely going to be some piece of her that still sits there and wonders why this had to happen to her.


Steinfeld dropped "Wrong Direction" earlier this month. Since then, fans have gone rampant with speculation that the song is about her ex-partner, Niall Horan, whom she dated for per year. While she reported the premiere of the video on Twitter, she gave her supporters who are going through similar situations several words of encouragement. " I know we’ve all been through hard times, just remember you’re not alone," she wrote.
