Music video

[edit | edit source]

The music video for "Wow Wow" was directed by Squid and Julián Levy and was released on August 25, 2021, coinciding with the release of Becerra's debut album Animal.

The video begins at an afterparty, in which no men are present (only female dancers and party-goers), and women are passed-out around the room after a night of drinking, including Becerra, who slowly begins waking up and starts the first verse. The first chorus commences the rest of the video's main theme, consisting of Becerra, Gomez and all the girls dancing and singing at an outdoor pool party. Various scenes show the two singers and the crowd of females in various locations around the house and pool, such as when they appear in a trashed living room, the outdoor pool area, and Becerra in a dark hallway performing with several backup dancers. Both singers also appear in some shots together, without dancers, wearing sunglasses and metallic, futuristic outfits as they sing to the camera.

As of 2024, the music video has an accumulated total of over 168 million views on Becerra's official YouTube channel.[5]
