[edit | edit source]

On August 4, Clairo released a music video for the song, her first professional music video and first music video in six years. The music video, directed by Bradley J. Calder, features Clairo attending an independent wrestling event held at a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall. She initially watches a battle royal–style match alone before being joined by a crowd. In subsequent scenes, Clairo poses with the wrestlers backstage, while both the audience and the ring announcer lip-sync the song's closing melody.[8][9]

Reception

In a review for The Guardian, "Juna" was described as the R&B-influenced centrepiece of the album, with lyrics expressing desire and instrumentation incorporating keys and vintage synthesizers.[10] In July 2025, the song was used in a viral internet meme where performative males, men who pretended to like stereotypically feminine media and fashion to attract female attention, made videos to the song.[11][12]
