MIA, a global Pop provocateur, released the official music video for ‘Marigold’. In it, she sings about the world being in trouble and needing a miracle. The track showcases her signature fusion of culture, sound, and vivid storytelling. Self-directed alongside frequent collaborator Quentin Deronzier, the video delivers a kaleidoscopic journey through themes of identity, resilience, and renewal. Watch the music video below to see how the genre-fusing Pop star [literally] incorporated marigolds into the treatment, which is a symbol of spiritual significance and celebration in South Asian culture.

Visually, the video is a masterclass in maximalism. It features an eclectic mix of costumes, from traditional saris to edgy streetwear, further emphasising the artist’s knack for blending disparate influences. Intricate choreography punctuates the narrative, with dancers weaving through vibrant fields of marigolds and industrial cityscapes alike. This duality—nature versus urbanisation—is a recurring motif that adds layers of complexity to the video.
Fans and critics alike have lauded ‘Marigold’ for its bold aesthetic and thought-provoking themes. Social media has been abuzz with interpretations, with some highlighting the song’s nods to environmental consciousness and others focusing on [its exploration of] cultural identity in a globalised world.
MIA has long been celebrated as an artist who pushes boundaries, both musically and visually. With ‘Marigold’, she once again cements her place as a creative force unafraid to challenge conventions and spark meaningful conversations. As anticipation builds for her upcoming album, ‘Marigold’, serves as a tantalising glimpse into the next chapter of MIA’s artistic evolution. The video not only reaffirms her reputation as a pioneer but also reminds audiences of the transformative power of music and art to connect people across cultures.
Whether you are a longtime fan or new to her work, ‘Marigold’ is a must-watch, encapsulating everything that makes MIA a trailblazing icon in the music world.
