The Stans Are Loving Normani's New 'Motivation' Music Video

Scroll To Top

In case you weren't aware, Normani has officially arrived.

The singer-songwriter and former Fifth Harmony member released a new single AND music video last night entitled "Motivation" and the track (which was co-written by Ariana Grande) is nothing short of pure pop perfection!! Serving tons of vocals, choreo, and face, the video is filled with homages and references to pop classics like Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" and Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real," and makes a very-needed statement about representation in music, especially for girls of color.

Basically, "Motivation" is everything the pop world has been desperately missing these past few years, so of course people are going wild for Normani!

\u201cY\u2019all don\u2019t understand. I cried watching this video of Normani re-making scenes from videos I grew up watching \u2014 just with more chocolate girls. This would have meant everything to me.\n\nI\u2019m so so thankful this generation has @Normani . #Motivation\u201d

But the stans weren't the only ones living for Normani! So many fellow of her peers and fellow pop girls also showed off their support. (And there's nothing better than queens supporting other queens!!)
