Like its predecessors, the [“mannequin challenge”](http://time.com/4566455/black-lives-matter-mannequin-challenge/) and the [“running man challenge,”](http://time.com/4350445/national-spelling-bee-2016-dab-running-man-challenge/) the “In My Feelings challenge” has also become a hit with celebs, garnering videos from the likes of Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson, Odell Beckham Jr., Lala Anthony, Kevin Hart, and more. ## Transcript I'm always so used to be liking like get all that stuff. If you look at goodies I did like a little matrix thing and I went in to a split. That was, I was trying to figure it out. Cuz I was like, I wanna find a way to bend my body. I was just young, trying anything. I wanna find a way to bend my body backwards and like make it like the Matrix, like the movie Cuz you know how when they do like the coat thing, that was where I was inspired from for the move. And I's like I just wanna try it, like, how can I bend my body at like a 90 degree angle. Like, gravity defying kinda stuff. Over time I worked on it and then I started to be able to get there and hold it and then I was like going lower and lower and lower, so I just kind of developed it over time and worked on it and it has become one of those things that the fans, you know, they know it to be part of my repertoire of dance and stuff, so it's super cool. [ MUSIC ] I did the wide video with Diane Martell. We really spent time on how we were gonna shoot it. It was three cameras to capture every angle. We wanted for the fan to feel like they were in the actual dance routine, and we was like, we want to go from top to bottom with choreography that's mapped out on each section. Like we were very clear on vision that we wanted. [ MUSIC ] And I also wanted. Kind of do the less is more kind of thing, even with the fashion, you know, so I simplified things a little bit, like with a black crop top and the black leggings and the shoes. [ MUSIC ] So in the Promise video, I don't know if I ever wanna tell the trick of how we did it because to be honest with you, you know, I just, I gotta little magic in my body to be very honest you know. It was just so much fun, actually. It was very challenging too. Like, you know, how I actually was able to make the mic stand, you know. I mean I had to practice over and over. Sometimes a magic energy just didn't work and the microphone would just fall and all that. So, you know, it took me time to look like that. But either way. [ LAUGH ] I'm super, super proud of that visual. [ MUSIC ] It was really hot first and foremost. We were in the desert and we were out there dancing and sweating our lives away basically, to get the actual picture for the video. [ MUSIC ] We were trying some cool things. That even that shaking thing was, I just kinda freestyled in a room, like to find it. [ MUSIC ] We went forward because it was so hot in the desert. We didn't have the longest time to shoot, too. Because you want to catch the sunlight. So it was definitely very Exciting and intense at the same time making that video. I always wanted to do a song with Missy. She and I, when we officially met, we locked so closely like, you know, sisters and so That's kind of the whole flow of it all. [ MUSIC ] Always so used to being like da, da, da, and wo with this song, I wanted to go opposite of that and, and go in a place where I thought would least expect. I've never done Ballet or point. I have always been wanted to, and this is one of the perfect opportunities to do it. I had very little time to learn how to actually stand on those shoes. So it was really challenging but giving you a taste of whats to come, its giving you a taste of what I am as a woman as well. And this whole new journey, an era, the Jackie era.
