Blue Lips is a 2018 short film co-produced, co-written and starring Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo. The film was released on YouTube and Vevo on 19 October 2018,[1] and features ten songs, nine from Lo's third studio album, Blue Lips (2017), and one from her second studio album, Lady Wood (2016). It was directed and written by Malia James with Lo working on the screenplay as well while Nathan Scherrer and Laura Haber served as executive producers.
Unlike Fairy Dust, one of Lo's previous short films, Blue Lips featured parts of the songs instead of using them completely, also it mixes a diegetic and non-diegetic use of the songs. The film centers around friends Ebba (played by Lo) and Kit (played by Ana Coto) as they party after the latter suffers a heartbreak.[2][3]
