Music video
The music video for Unforgettable was shot on Tenerife , Spain and premiered on January 19, 2018 on YouTube . Scibilia does not appear in the music video herself. Directed by Maxim Rosenbauer and Moritz Ross, Rosenbauer was already responsible for the music video for Prayer in C (Robin Schulz Remix) . To date, the music video has over 17.5 million views on YouTube (as of December 2018).
The music video describes the story of a "gangster tour" around the girls Lisa (played by Leonie Otto) and Lola (played by Bolu Aw), who call themselves "sisters4life". During their adventure, the two repeatedly take selfies , which they upload to their social media channels . First, the music video begins with a brief look ahead to the end. This is followed by the beginning of the story, in which the two sit together in front of a small hut and use their smartphone to review the previous evening of the party. When it seems that the two are about to say goodbye after the brief " affair ", a man drives up in his Mercedes-Benz . He leaves his Mercedes unattended with the key on the side of the road. The two look at each other, briefly hold hands before they get into the car and set off on a “ road trip ”. The actual driver tries in vain to stop the two. After a trip through the landscape of Tenerife, the friends have to go to the gas station. In the glove compartment they find a weapon with which they want to attack the gas station. A young man works in the gas station and does not behave properly to prevent the two of them from robbing. Instead, he languishes at Lisa while Lola takes the money from the till. Shortly before the escape, Lisa kisses the boy on the cheek. In the evening they check into a hotel. They jump into an already closed swimming pool, where they can successfully hide from an inspector by means of a diving process. After drying off, they sit together on the bed of their hotel room, looking at their pictures while the television is on in the background. During a news broadcast , the spokesman (played by Robin Schulz) reports on the two girls. The headline reads: "Robbery Goes Viral - 2 Young Girls Positing Crimes" ( English for "Robbery goes viral - 2 young girls post crimes"). The two enjoy the contribution and jump around on the bed while throwing money around. The next morning they go on redesigned and dressed in evening dresses. You pass a police patrol who are talking away from their patrol car . The two girls look each other in the face again before laying a trace of gasoline and blowing up the police car. Shortly thereafter, the newscaster appears again with the new post: "Bad Girls Burned Police Car - Reward $ 10,000" ( English for "Bad girls burned police cars down - Reward $ 10,000"). The video ends with the girls running from the guards.
