In the music video, Saleka is seen singing and dancing throughout the house used in Servant, before it’s revealed star Nell Tiger Free, who plays Leanne Grayson, had put the singer’s record on in the attic.

Rupert’s Julian Pearce is heard asking her ‘what is this?’ and  she tells him that she had simply ‘found them up here’.

In a tense exchange, Rupert said the records ‘must have been our mom’s’, and she added: ‘We’re not supposed to listen to music, they say it’s a dark temptation but I don’t understand that, it just feels like light to me.’

Speaking to Just Jared about the music video, Saleka said: ‘I was very intimidated and nervous leading up to the shoot because there were a lot of physical logistics with the choreography.

‘I’ve never been directed by my dad before, but once we were on set it actually felt really natural. He always emphasises the emotional intention over everything.

‘Since I wrote the song, we were able to easily talk about the meaning of each line, how it connects to the movement and contributes to the arc of the overall video.’

Earlier this month, Rupert admitted that starring in the Harry Potter films for a decade felt ‘suffocating’ as he longed to do other things.

The actor shot to fame for his role as Harry’s best friend Ron Weasley in the franchise which consisted of eight films released between 2001 and 2011. 

Speaking on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Rupert admitted that sometimes the Harry Potter set felt like ‘Groundhog Day’.

He said: ‘There was a time where it felt quite suffocating, because it was heavy going, because it was every day for 10 years in the end.

‘It was a great experience. Such a nice kind of family atmosphere. It was always the same crew we kind of grew up with, so it was a great place to be.  

‘But sometimes it definitely felt like, “I want to do something else. See what else is out there.” It just never ended. Every year, we came back. 

‘And it was kind of like Groundhog Day because it was the same sets. It was the same people. But it was great. I loved it.’
