Charli D'Amelio has officially made her foray into music. The 18-year-old debuted her first official music video, "If You Ask Me To," after the season finale of her hit Hulu series The D'Amelio Show. Directed by Andrew Sadler, the new music video follows Charli as she explores teenage heartbreak and considers the idea of falling in love again.

The TikTok star opened up to Billboard about what she wants viewers to take away from her new song and music video. "I wanted to use this as a time in my life where I don’t have to talk about true experiences — so much of my life is so out there," Charli said. "I want people to be able to relate their own experiences into music. I think when you listen to it, I hope that you feel something and if it relates to a point in time in your life where, “oh, this is kind of similar," use it. I love music that makes you feel, music that makes you think."

She also discussed the power of perception and how it impacts the way people listen to music. "I think it’s such a powerful thing that you can use in so many ways, and I hope people enjoy it," Charli added. "Whatever it is to them, my connection with the song is going to be different from everyone else's, and everyone else is just going to differ from each other. So I hope that people take from it what they need and what helps them connect with it."
