Mā and her band The Fly Hunnies take centre stage (literally!) in a shadowy theatre for this darkly playful music video. Directed by Brandon Te Moananui, the group dance and dine alongside two comically awkward Pākehā men at a banquet table. Featuring visceral shots of raw meat being prepared and later messily eaten, the video unfolds as a surreal feast that toes the line between manaakitanga and menace. Made for the te reo Māori music series Waiata Anthems, the neo-soul track is Mā's "response to political and social injustices threatening her community" and was nominated for the 2025 APRA Maioha Award.
