The contrast
new trick uses pop-rock and garage-punk energy to frame a song about coping after heartbreak. Rosé describes the mismatch between buoyant music and sad subject matter as intentional.
The video
Dave Meyers directed the clip. Apple’s production framing identifies it as an iPhone 18 Pro shoot, while Amy Allen is among the songwriting collaborators.
The flip side
A device campaign can document how the video was shot, but it is promotional context rather than an independent review. The theme belongs to the song; it should not be treated as a factual account of a named private relationship.
Update note: Source-read briefing explains the sound-versus-subject contrast, verifies the official video and labels the device-production detail as promotional context.
