Over 2 million views on YouTube, Honne collaborates with Pink Sweat$ in the making of- "What would you do?" Written by Pink Sweat$, Capi & HONNE and video was edited by Zsofia Talas, the the concept of bluster and poise emphasized in the music video, whereby all artists play their respective roles setting the planet to end in a week. Youthful love germinates through adventure and harmony, while defending the right things in a twisted way at the end of the video.
Honne, an English electronic music duo, came together in 2014, Bow, London. After staying out of the music scene for about 7 years, James Hatcher and Andy Clutterbuck, the two-man band duo explained, “In the past, we’ve limited ourselves,”. They explained further, “We might get to a section of a song and things are getting really exciting, but we then pull ourselves back and say, ‘Can we really do that?’ Now, we’ve sidestepped the rules and done whatever we wanted to do.”
On an interview with Flaunt, the duo was asked what they hope fans will take away from it? Andy said, “ Before it came out, we teased the lyrics. We announced on social media, the lyrics “let’s just say the world ended a week from now, what would you do?” So asking that question, it’s become really clear and poignant, there’s lots of things people would do in that scenario. But then we started asking, well why don’t you do those things now? You don’t have to wait for the world to end in order to come out to your parents, whatever it is. There’s so many things that are very meaningful for a lot of people. The message is why wait? Act on it now. Do it now”
Pink Sweat$ raised in Philly, He knew his mission as a singer. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he explained, “I’m tired of hearing the same varieties of styles,” Sweat$ explains. “I hear songs, and I know that’s a hit, but damn, I heard that flow so many fucking times. People are like, ‘You gotta put the Migos flow on it.’ Why?”
Pink Sweat$ eventually collaborated with PnB Rock and Swae Lee to produce tracks like “Forever Never.” Months earlier, the popular R&B musician released his debuted work “PINK PLANET”. PINK PLANET was heralded by another single - “Heaven,”. This artistic prodigy unbridled the delightful visuals for another project called- “At My Worst” featuring Kehlani.
[Intro: HONNE]
Let's just say the world ended a week from now
What would you do? What would you do?
[Verse 1: HONNE]
Let's just say the world ended a week from now
What would you do? What would you do?
Only seven days that we're counting down
Do you know who you'd pull up close to you?
[Pre-Chorus: HONNE]
Why not tell somebody you love them before it's too late?
Why not tell somebody you love them 'cause it cannot wait?
Just tell somebody you love them before it's too late
'Cause you're running out of time, don't wait another day
[Chorus: HONNE]
Tell them that they are all you think about, yeah
Tell them that life's no good without, and with
Nothing left to lose, nothing left to prove
Are you gonna tell the truth? Ooh
What would you do?
[Verse 2: Pink Sweat$ & HONNE]
They say a smile can really brighten your night, we're
Stuck on this rock together, rockin' for life, yeah
This music jammin', I'm just here for the vibe
I'ma tell someone I love ‘em tonight
[Pre-Chorus: HONNE]
Why not tell somebody you love them before it's too late?
Why not tell somebody you love them 'cause it cannot wait?
Just tell somebody you love them before it's too late
'Cause you're running out of time, don't wait another day
[Bridge: HONNE]
Look your lover in the eyes and tell her, tell her
I'll be with you by your side forever, forever
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: HONNE]
Tell them that they are all you think about, yeah

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to prove
Are you gonna tell the truth? (Tell, tell ya) Ooh

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to prove
Are you gonna tell the truth? Ooh
What would you do?
