BackgroundSpeaking to 'The Fader' about "Butterflies", AJ Tracey stated: "Africa's really well represented now, so hold tight with my African friends but my culture isn't represented. It's all cool listening to the afrobeats and afroswing, whatever you want to call it, but where is the dancehall, the soca, you know what I'm saying? There's none of this [in U.K. music]. I just wanted to showcase it a bit." Music videoThe music video was released on 30 May 2018. It was directed by Tracey himself along with Mornix. The video was shot in Trinidad and Tobago in February 2018.
