J Hart 'Why Does It Hurt' - Music Video Review

Updated: Apr 8, 2023

Hey all,


I thought I would write a short review for a new music video that has come out recently. It's another single by J Hart, and it's a song called 'Why Does It Hurt'. Here's my review!


In the beginning of the music video, there are some blurry black and red introduction shots of a male, which could be the person that the song is about - and I also noticed it's the same guy that was in J Hart's other music video for 'Put It To Bed'. The video quickly transitions to a black and white shot of J Hart singing to the camera, looking quite emotional, but also trying to explain the story of the time that love hurt him. Some of the first lyrics include 'I know it's for the best, but it don't hurt me any less' and he adds on that 'you lost what you don't deserve'. I think both of those lines show that J Hart knows his worth, and understands that although it's a difficult situation to go through, it's 'for the best', and that the person that broke his heart doesn't deserve to be in love with him, especially because of how they have treated him.


One of the creative aspects of this music video is the way that some of the video shots are out of sync with some of the singing, but I think that makes the video a little more interesting to watch, and you're constantly waiting for the lyrics and video to sync. Throughout the video there are a lot of close up shots of 2 males, who seem to be kissing and hugging eachother, and it could explain the story that the guy that made J Hart upset, has quickly moved on with somebody else...as he sings that he doesn't just want to move onto the next best thing, showing that he might not be ready to move on yet. There are no outfit changes, but the further along the music video gets, the more emotional J Hart seems to get, with real tears coming down his face at the end of the music video, before it fades to black. He closes his eyes multiple times throughout the music, so maybe he's trying to think about the good aspects of those memories, as it will be the last time he will be able to think about this individual, and then he has to move on and focus on his own life!
