Lucy refused to disclose any other details regarding the new clip, other than its anticipated success.
Lucy noted that she does not fear negative criticism, for as long as she is satisfied with her work, nothing else matters.
Lucy expressed her disapproval of Egyptian singer Ruby and Lebanese singer Maria’s dancing abilities presented in their music videos, citing a lack of talent.
