“I want ‘Bootfirst’ to feel like the soundtrack to your best summer memories, and I think this music video captures that perfectly. It’s pure summer fun, and we had the best time bringing it to life. I hope it makes people want to grab their friends and make some memories of their own,” said Lam.
The official music video brings "Bootfirst" to life through a cinematic, high-energy storyline that follows an awkward outsider's transformation into the confident "cool girl" at the center of an unforgettable summer pool party. Filled with humor and carefree summer fun, the video captures the song's fearless spirit while encouraging viewers to jump in "bootfirst."
Recorded at Nashville's legendary Blackbird Studio, "Bootfirst" was produced by Lowell Reynolds and co-written by Lam alongside Jessica Cayne and Kayliann Lowe. The upbeat country anthem encourages listeners to take chances, embrace new experiences, and dive headfirst into whatever comes next.
