Really happy that this video has skyrocketed in views in the past couple of months. I'm absolutely in love with your timing in the visual changes relative to the beat of the song, this song has so many layers of rhythm that you took into account while editing it this is without a shadow of a doubt your most hypnotic edit. Thank You

@JohaQ

I have no idea why this is suddenly showing up in the recommendation feed for so many people, but I'm glad they seem to enjoy it. Highly rhythmic songs like this one are a lot of fun/work to edit to. I really appreciate insightful comments like yours. Thank you.

Edit: As of 7/2/2019, this is no longer my last edit. Now I look like an idiot.

I want to be clear that this is not a return to edits. This is a sequel of sorts to my first Yung Bae edit that I started working on in April, but then promptly abandoned. A few days ago I was rewatching what little progress I had made, and I decided to properly finish it once and for all. I hope you enjoy this one last edit. Peace.

@imoutofwater
