Fender's music video for his single "People Watching" features BAFTA-winning actor Andrew Scott, portraying a man grappling with profound grief over his mother's death. Set in Long Beach, California, the video captures Andrew in a state of emotional turmoil, balancing wild partying with painful memories. The narrative echoes themes from Fender's own life, particularly the influence of his late surrogate mother, who inspired confidence in him. Initially released in November, the single coincides with Fender's forthcoming album, which is deeply rooted in his experiences of loss and remembrance.
Fender described the track's meaning, explaining that it was about someone who was like 'a surrogate mother' to him, who passed away last November.
It's about what was going through my head, to and from that place and home," Fender said.
She was the one who gave me the confidence to go on stage and would always ask, 'Why haven't you mentioned my name in your acceptance speech?'
But now, an entire song (and album) connects to her. I hope that wherever she is now, she's looking down and saying, 'About time, kid'.
