Boyish spoke about the track in a press release. “‘Congratulations’ is about falling for someone who you are close to,” they say. “It’s the moment when you cross the line between friends and something more and the fear that once you cross that line, there’s no going back. It’s written from the present day after things have fallen apart but reflects back to the moment when you become more than just friends.
“The music video was directed by Chase Denton and produced by Working Holiday,” they continue. “We shot it in New York City across a couple of our favorite locations — Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Rockaway Beach, outside on someone’s stoop. Working House brought us the idea to do a micro-narrative and film the exact same shot of each of us but then flip it in post-production to make this great inverted effect.”
