Gracie Abrams - Mess It Up (Official Video)

i love how she drops the cake and immediately makes another one, i would've just cried and then gone to bed

the way I just wanna be baking with gracie

This was frustrating to watch cause she dropped so many cakes 😩 but since everyone has different interpretations, this is mine. To me, I think the cake symbolizes her heart. It fell many times and broke to pieces. And each time she refused to give up on the relationship, so she bakes a new one. That’s like her mending her own heart. Eventually it got to the end where she doesn’t have much left, so she gave it her all hoping it would work. It did, but the cake is much smaller now. Because her heart has been through so much, it’s no longer the same.

For me, the cakes falling mean all the mistakes committed in the relationship, and how she kept coming back and giving her best. And in the end, when the pavement was filled with all the past cakes, she was more careful, so she won't trip with the other cakes, and could make it out of there.

Did anyone feel some severe pain in their heart every time the cake fell or was it just me😭

Moral of the story: Never let gracie carry the cake, you can let her bake it.

This is how i feel with all the relationships, friendships and otherwise, ive had in my life. Giving so much each time, wondering what i did wrong to mess it all up when they ended. Eventually learning to “let it happen” was the best option. Just letting relationships happen, giving what i can in the present moment, but not too much at once to where theres a huge loss each time that meant nothing. Making sure to take care and make every moment quality over quantity. That’s what i got out of the song personally

The director of this music video deserves a gold medal. what a concept absolutely justify the lyrics

i wish the ending could be a scene where she bakes the cake for herself and just eats it happily alone

In my mind, the cakes represents her giving the best pieces of herself to someone, just trying to please them but eventually she runs out these perfect things about herself (the ingredients) because she thinks she keeps messing up everything she's giving to this person where in reality, it's the person (her tripping over the steps) that's messing it up. But she only sees it as her making a mistake so she keeps trying and eventually she gives up and just gives the person all she has left, hoping it'll be enough for them.

Gracie is so underrated! Her songs are exactly my music taste

I found some of your songs when I was depressed with my life in general. Somehow, in the next couple years, I found that songs again... But this time, my life is much more better. I still remember vividly my feelings when I first heard your songs. It's kinda awesome when music can remind people about their past. Well, guys, if someone broke your heart today, just remember one thing: life moves on, you're gonna be alright mate 🧡

When she first trying to make the cakes they were all perfect and it symbolized her trying to put up a fake personality but when she made the last imperfect cake she could finally walk free.

Why is she so underrated?? She literally sings like heaven.

Dang she has SO much patience i wouldve given up so much sooner😭😭

Who else thinks she's underrated artist?

To me, the cake keeps falling over and over again because it’s too much, too soon. It’s like when you’re trying to win someone back or earn their trust again after hurting them, but it keeps failing because it’s too much for them too soon and it’s too overwhelming. It only works with the smaller cake because sometimes trust is earned again little by little.

I have never been more obsessed with a song in my life 😭 I found this just a day ago and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played it—I seriously can’t get enough of it ❤ this is my absolute favorite song and you are so talented omg. this is a pure masterpiece

No cakes were harmed in the making of this film. 😂
