The accompanying visual follows Baskoro as he navigates through a romantic relationship that he may or may not ultimately destroy… It’s up to you to find out!
On “Close Enough,” Bo Baskoro reflected,
“A lot of times, I write about how somebody hurt me or did me wrong. ‘Close Enough’ is me taking responsibility for the mistakes Iʼve made that separated me from someone I loved and the hurt I never wanted to cause.”
