Fear and loathing in Los Angeles, Cook takes viewers on a reverse journey through the tumult of a toxic relationship in the cinematic, black-and-white visual. Premiered exclusively on BET Jams, the video was directed by Andrees Flores and shot by Sayder Vision — and continues to run up views by the day, closing in on 200k.
Here’s what Shawn had to say about “Stay”:
“The video is an introduction to the emotional carousel listeners will enjoy on the ‘Claudette’ project. We wanted to give the audience a disorienting feeling .. much like a spouse or lover feels when they’re experiencing turmoil.”

He continued: “‘Stay’ illustrates a beautiful and broad way to express pain, from the melody of the record to the slow motion reverse editing we cut for the visual. Love and heartache come from the same place and I wanted ‘Stay’ to create a kaleidoscope of morphing perceptions for fans. It’s a vibe for anyone and everyone.. Enjoy.”
