Hayley Kiyoko’s new video tells a story about a young woman who leaves a homophobic home for another woman… who isn’t sure how committed she is to the relationship.
“What I Need” opens with Kehlani arguing with someone as Kehlani packs and says she’s going to travel with her “best friend.”
“Do you think I’m fucking stupid and I don’t know that’s more than just a best friend?” the other person asks.
She and Kiyoko hang out, drink, party, with the exact nature of their relationship unclear until the end of the video.
