Jhené Aiko has dropped off an accompanying music video for her Chilombo cut, “Born Tired.”

The calming visual sees parallels of the artist being one with nature, enjoying time with family and friends and working in the studio with sound baths and the likes. “Born Tired” is Aiko’s statement of working through the hardships of life, reminding listeners to “Look at how far you have come / And look at all that you have going / Look at who you have become / Baby, you gotta keep going.”

Chilombo marks Aiko’s third studio album and is currently nominated for Album of the Year, Best Progressive R&B Album and Best R&B Performance (for “Lighting & Thunder”) at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Watch Jhené Aiko’s “Born Tired” music video above.
