PรNDA’s performance starts in black and white and the colours appear just at the second chorus, revealing her blue hair. For the third run they drop effect and the whole performance is in colour. She starts the performance sat down on a podium and later stands up.
There is absolutely nothing happening on the LED screens behind her. Instead, the stage is full of poles with lights that create patterns to match the beat. The triangles in the ceiling are also heavily used.
PรNDA sounds great and the backing vocalists add more depth to the song. After the second run some tears were visible in her eyes.
