Genre Specific Timeline Analysis: 'Back to You' Louis Tomlinson

Within 'Back to You' created by Louis Tomlinson (LT), featuring Bebe Rexha (BR) and Digital Farm Animals it follows Louis Tomlinson and Bebe Rexha in a semi-linear storyline. The camera follows LT and BR in their own storylines to where they meet at a football stadium. Comparing this music video to other most recent releases, it has become a popular trend for the artists to feature themselves in their music video, creating a linear storyline involving themselves with the other featuring singers or of someone/people of the opposite sex.
The other idea used allot by artists is to feature other people to act out the artist interpretation of their song, which could also become a theme for the artist, creating their own style for their music videos such as Sia, following allot of dance choreography around a storyline and like Riptide by Vance Joy, creating is own style within his music videos.
