Normani also dropped a music video to accompany her new single and as Billboard explains, “The clip starts with a throwback to a young Normani drawing inspiration from her fave music TV show. Now all grown-up and wearing a top stamped with the year of her birth, 1996, Normani and a team of dancers throw a party in the streets of Los Angeles. They’re all seriously motivated.”

Talking to Rolling Stone about Motivation, Normani explains, “I recorded this song a while back.  I shot the video probably a month ago.  It’s an upbeat song.  It’s a feel good record.  I think that everybody will really love it.  It was the first opportunity that I had to have fun.”  Motivation is the follow up to Normani’s hit collaborations, Dancing With A Stranger with Sam Smith and Love Lies with Khalid.
