Watch Mandy Moore's star-studded music video for her new single, 'In Real Life'
Mandy Moore just released the star-studded music video for her new single, "In Real Life."
The actress and singer-songwriter previously said that the track, released March 8, is personal to her, describing it as "a direct response to digging for some creative catharsis during quarantine AND getting ready to become a mother."
Going with the theme of the song, the music video is filled with at-home footage from Moore and her loved ones, including her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and their son, August, and many of her friends and co-stars.
Famous faces you'll spot in the video include Hilary Duff, Wilmer Valderrama, Tess Holiday, Skylar Astin and many of Moore's "This Is Us" co-stars, including Chrissy Metz, Susan Kelechi Watson, Sterling K. Brown, Chris Sullivan, Justin Hartley and Jon Huertas.
Moore said she started writing "In Real Life" when she was expecting her son and finished it after she gave birth.
"In a way it speaks to every cliché about becoming a parent: all the lights get turned on, everything crystallizes in a way that you never could have imagined," the singer said in a statement.
Moore and Goldsmith announced the birth of August Harrison Goldsmith, aka "Gus," in February 2021.
"Before Gus was born, my life was completely about me, and not necessarily even in a selfish sense -- you just put one foot in front of the other and make your way through the world, and hopefully try to be the best version of yourself," her statement continued. "But then this person enters the equation, and all that gets turned on its head. I wanted to write something that distills all that down, and also acknowledges that this is the most important role that I’ll ever play in my life."
"In Real Life" is the title track off Moore's upcoming studio album, out May 13.
