If “Mine” has been living rent-free in your head, Tems’ new video gives the song a fresh setting without trying too hard. It opens on a football pitch, with players fully locked into their game behind her — sprinting, tackling, running drills — while Tems stays in the foreground, unbothered and steady. That contrast is where the video finds its rhythm. “Mine” is rooted in certainty: choosing someone, standing by that choice, and not needing to overexplain it. As the footballers move constantly behind her, Tems remains grounded, delivering the song’s message with calm assurance rather than urgency. Dave’s appearance slots in…

The couple were found dead on Sunday afternoon at their $13.5 million mansion after what authorities described as a violent confrontation with their son, Nick Reiner, who has since been arrested and charged with murder.
