Anyone who has felt the pain that comes with realizing your relationship might be coming to an end, will find an especially deep connection with Callista Clark’s new music video with Scotty McCreery for their soulful heartbreak ballad, “Gettin’ Old.”
Award-winning filmmaker, Roman White for Red Mill Productions, acts as producer and director of the video, which stars influencer Adrien Nunez and Hollywood actress Brook Sill. The two of them were casted to portray the story of a couple who is in a place of confusion, anger and uncertainty with each other.
Before the stirring harmonies of Clark and McCreery appear in the background, the clip starts off by showcasing a heated argument between Still and Nunez. The female character is visibly upset as she confronts her other half about whether or not he’s willing to fight for their love or call it quits. She locks herself in the bathroom as the tune begins to play.
“Gettin’ Old” was written by Clark with Averie Bielski and Karen Kasowski while Joey Hyde and Frank Rogers served as co-producers. Throughout the tune, she and McCreery team up to depict the stages of emotions one goes through when realizing they are no longer feeling fulfilled by their partner.
The video takes a step back in time to show when the couple was at their happiest and appeared to be making great strides in moving their relationship forward and preparing for a future together. Their seen dancing around their apartment together, sharing laughs and basking in the romance. However, viewers then start to understand how they got away from that passion as the anger clearly intensifies into a full-blown fight. With tears in her eyes and a crack in her voice, Brook explains that her partner had run off with no trace just hours after saying “I love you.” The final clip shows a glamour of hope as they come to an understanding that taking this next step is scarier than they both expected.
The chorus helps to highlight the problem at hand that so many others struggle with in real-life relationships. Clark lets her silky vocals take the led as she sheds light on the fact that if she and her partner really were soulmates, then they should be taking major life steps together, like buying their first home together with a front porch and getting married. Instead, the lyrics reveal that she is clearly getting sick of not seeing that growth and needs to see evidence of true change in order to move forward.
While the story comes to life between the influencer and the actress, Clark and McCreery make an appearance in a set of performance clips that were filmed in what looks to be in an abandoned home.
“Kiss me good morning just like/ You’ve done it a thousand times/ Same routine that we don’t undo/ Nothing’s ever new doing all the things that soulmates do but if that’s the truth/ By now we should be getting that first house/ Front porch/ Little wrap around/ One more December down/While you’re holding me through the cold/ We Should be/ Further the down the road/ Than we are/ Trading bands of gold but we aren’t thought we’d be getting old together, but now it’s just getting old kinda getting old,” they sing on the chorus.
The pair of country stars got to know each other a few years ago while on tour together throughout McCreery’s UK run. He recalled being “blown away” by her talent on stage as well as her songwriting abilities, so it was easy to except the opportunity to work together again on “Gettin’ Old.”
