Music video [edit]

The official music video for "Double Fantasy" was released alongside the release of the song on April 21, 2023. Future does not make an appearance in it, but it shares unreleased scenes from The Idol, and stars Tesfaye and co-star, Lily-Rose Depp, looking for fame and then finding the former, while the video is sexually-charged and is drug-heavy.[6]
