Trinity Bliss Makes Summer Last Forever in “will they won’t they” Music Video

There’s a very specific kind of delusion that comes with a summer crush. Every sunset feels like a sign. Every drive becomes a scene from a movie. And suddenly, one lingering look is enough to fuel an entire imaginary relationship. Trinity Bliss knows the feeling well. On “will they won’t they,” the pop singer-songwriter embraces the thrill of not knowing where a crush is headed, and the new music video turns that uncertainty into the kind of endless California summer you wish you could live inside. Think ocean air, windows-down drives, carnival lights, bonfires, and enough golden hour to make even the most committed cynic believe in romance.

Taken from Trinity’s sophomore album Forever Fool, “will they won’t they” is less interested in what happens after the first kiss than everything that happens before it. The song lives in the “almost,” that period when a relationship exists mostly in glances, possibilities, and increasingly elaborate scenarios playing out in your head. The video understands the assignment. Bliss cruises through Los Angeles and along the Southern California coast, bouncing between beachside fair rides, sunset drives, and stretches of open road. There’s no need for a dramatic plot twist. The fantasy is the plot. That approach works because Bliss writes in snapshots. “Rolling hills racing by me in the sunset glow” and “My heart’s still at the bonfire where those sparks fly” feel less like carefully constructed pop lyrics and more like memories being documented before they’re even over. The video simply lets us inside them.

It’s also what makes Trinity Bliss an interesting voice in the crowded coming-of-age pop space. Plenty of artists revisit adolescence once they’re safely on the other side of it. Bliss is documenting hers in real time. The overthinking hasn’t been turned into wisdom yet. The crush hasn’t become a cautionary tale. She doesn’t know how everything ends, and she doesn’t pretend to. That immediacy runs throughout Forever Fool, a 10-track album about crushes, romantic fantasies, growing pains, and realizing that real life rarely follows the script you wrote for it. Across songs like “things,” “chemistry,” “once upon a time,” and “cirque du soleil,” Bliss gradually trades the fairytale version of growing up for something messier and much more interesting. All 10 tracks were written, composed, and recorded by Bliss, who also co-produced nine of them alongside O.I.AM.

Trinity Bliss’s ability to build a scene didn’t start with pop music. A classically trained pianist, she began performing at six, completed Level 10 classical training by her freshman year of high school, and won the OPUS Music Foundation Concerto Competition, which led to a performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 19 with a full orchestra. Years of guitar study and songwriting eventually widened that musical foundation into the pop world she occupies today, with influences ranging from Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette to Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish. And then there’s her other career. Bliss is already recognizable to millions as Tuk in James Cameron’s Avatar franchise, a role that introduced her to a global audience while she was simultaneously developing her own voice as a musician. Acting and songwriting give Bliss two very different ways into storytelling: on screen, she steps inside someone else’s world; in her music, she gets to build one entirely from her own perspective. That crossover feels particularly natural in the “will they won’t they” music video, where her instinct for creating a scene is just as important as the song itself.

The title Forever Fool ultimately becomes a kind of thesis for that world. For Trinity Bliss, being a “forever fool” isn’t about being naïve. It’s about understanding that the fairytale might fall apart and choosing to get swept up in it anyway. “The perfect moment will pass, and the heart may break,” she explains, “but I’m ready, and I want to feel it all.” “will they, won’t they” might be the most carefree version of that philosophy. Bliss knows the moment won’t last forever, but she isn’t interested in rushing toward whatever comes next. For now, there’s a crush, a sunset, and an open road ahead.

Maybe they’ll get together. Maybe they won’t. With a summer bop this good, who cares?
