Jisoo’s new ‘Your Love’ music video finds a wild backdrop in Singapore: which other artists have shot here too?

Jin and Jisoo are just the latest in a growing list of international artists turning to Singapore as the backdrop for their music videos. With its interplay of heritage buildings, striking design and open public spaces, the city offers visually distinctive and recognisable scenes that continue to draw some of the world’s most successful musicians.

Together, these recent releases underscore Singapore’s growing allure as a versatile stage—one that can be artful one month, and a lush sensory backdrop the next. From museum galleries to tree-lined treks, when K-pop spots Singapore, the world watches—and often books a ticket too.

Here’s a closer look at the artists and music videos that have brought Singapore to the screen, and the places that made them unforgettable.

K-pop star Jisoo’s latest special video for Your Love, from her mini album Amortage, takes viewers deep into the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Filmed across lush, photo-ready spots including the new Rainforest Wild Asia and Singapore Zoo, the video weaves her emotive performance with scenes of Southeast Asian rainforests, up-close wildlife encounters, and even striking cave chambers. The collaboration between Singapore Tourism Board and Mandai Wildlife Group isn’t just for the screen—fans can relive it in person through the Your Love meets the Wild trail at Rainforest Wild Asia, running from August 13 to October 5, 2025.

In his much-anticipated solo comeback, Jin showcases Singapore’s architectural grandeur with cinematic flair. The video appears to centre on the National Gallery, with its classical columns and polished interiors, lit in a way that lends warmth without softening its authority. Visual hints from the interactive game suggest additional scenes at the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay and the iconic Singapore Flyer.

Filmed across Singapore while on their Music of the Spheres tour, Coldplay’s Man In The Moon unfurls like a visual diary, created in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board and Warner Music Singapore. The music video shows the band moving through our city’s colourful streets and main attractions such as the SEA Aquarium and Marina Bay Sands. Other visuals include sleek buildings, hawker centres and reflective moments on rooftops shot in Little India and Fort Canning Park.

In an ethereal performance series filmed within the misty heart of the Cloud Forest, Billie Eilish leans into the atmospheric qualities of Singapore’s garden city vision. With its cascading indoor waterfall and rare tropical flora, the location amplifies the quiet intensity of her music. There’s no artifice here, just a sense of suspended stillness. The mood mirrors the song’s introspection, but the real accomplishment lies in how the space allows the music to breathe.

The performance video for Runaway is all height and horizon. Shot at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck, the band plays with the skyline behind them as the sun goes down. It’s a straightforward performance clip, spliced with heritage facades and local scenes across Thailand, Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Local singer Nathan Hartono chose Keong Saik and Tanjong Pagar for his video for In the Clouds, two neighbourhoods with just the right amount of grit and gloss. Long associated with shophouse façades and a shifting identity, the streets bring depth to the song’s theme of personal rediscovery.
