In the music video, Lauv reveals that he wrote the song while he was struggling with depression and OCD, but later realized that seeking professional help and taking the necessary steps gave him hope that everything would be okay.

"Although I, or anyone else, may seem fine at any given moment, mental illness is something that is oftentimes not apparent," he says. "It's an ongoing journey with ups and downs, and finding stability is a process that I'm still heavily working on."

The whole video was shot as Lauv sang to his fans during his sold-out show at the Araneta Coliseum, the biggest headlining show in his career so far.

All proceeds from "Sad Forever" will go to several organizations fighting to end the stigma on mental health. Lauv is also donating a partial amount of ticket sales made on his Asia Tour to the Wellbeing Cluster, a Philippine organization that promotes and mainstreams psychosocial and mental health programs towards wellness and resiliency in the workplace.

It is so inspiring to see more and more artists working to bring more awareness on mental health and other pressing issues through their music.
