Dovvydotcom comes soaring back into the underground music scene following 2022 EP release of DOVVYDOTCOM with new single “what u get”. The accompanying music video was directed by Jack Balaban and Luke Cahill featuring a storyline of a worker being mistreated by his boss, going on to get revenge by destroying his workplace. Although the song is clearly about a romantic relationship, the juxtaposition of the track with the music video idea makes the track more enjoyable.
The music video begins with artist dovvydotcom sitting at a desk eating a burrito, his boss comes in and asks about his food. Next, the boss asks dovvy what time it is to which dovvy replies “1:02“ – past his lunch break. The boss proceeds to take the burrito away and eat it himself telling him to “let’s get back to work”.
The music starts and Dovvy gets up from his desk and sings to the camera on the ceiling while his coworkers are busy in the background doing work. The music slows down and the scenes cut quickly while Dovvy sings “that’s what you get when you make a fool out of me”. The coworkers start to sing and dance along to the song. The track maneuvers into a soft synth-pop breakdown as Dovvy repeats “that’s what you get when you make a fool out of me”.
The scenes cut between the workers doing their jobs and them all singing at the camera. The song applies to the situation Dovvy faced earlier as if he’s singing to his boss “that’s what you get when you make a fool out of me” while making his workplace into a wreck of misplaced files and paper thrown all over the floor. A moment of fun disrupting the mundane routine of a work life.
Dovvy proves he is not one to just take what he gets, instead he goes after what he wants. “What u get” is a pop track fitting for your start-of-summer playlist, whether you’re getting over someone or just looking for a good time.
