Tickets to my 2022 world tour are on sale now: www.ambermarkm...
Three Dimensions Deep is a musical journey of what questions you begin to ask yourself when you start looking to the universe for answers. I can only go as deep as the third dimension as that’s how we see the world, but what about when you start looking to the universe within for answers.

I hold this one so close to my heart. ‘Competition’ comes from a state of always comparing yourself to others and how ruthless that competitive nature can be towards yourself and towards others. The song is a reminder of how much stronger we are together.

COMPETITION IS OUT!!! 😭 Thank you to my angel fairy @carastricker for co-directing this piece with me and so many more!!! There’s bunch of Easter eggs so make sure to look out for them!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS GO CHECK IT AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE!!!
Always good music from this one!
I see some Tarkovsky in the end 🤔
l O hp snc
Song & video is fire 🔥
Side note is that the command center from POWER RANGERS🙀⁉️
I see a bit of worth it, generous and 1894 🌝
It’s giving me Solange “Come Home/ A Seat At The Table” vibes all around
😍
With a little Beyonce
But only visual part. Somehow music doesn't match video unlike with Solange and Beyonce
As soon as I saw the visuals I thought of Solange😍
Or don’t touch my hair
Tis ain't music ladies and gentlemen. It's high-level art.
thank you!!
couldn’t have said it better !
It's giving When I Get Home very strongly. That's not a complaint, though.
She's so underrated. Love her style and her voice.
appreciate you 💜
I don't think she is. We all know that charts and prizes don't mean a thing. And as she herself said "Damn, I really made it" ❤ that's all that matters
I can't believe there's something as glorious as this.
YOU are glorious. Thank you 🥺
@@AmberMark333 here I am who loves you and appreciates your music so much. You are my religion
@@sofiavelazquezescobar503 this is not a competition xD. sorry I'm just vibing.
Omg this song I’ve been listening to Amber Mark for a while now oh man her music is really brought me through dark times and she is so unique love love love thank you Amber❤❤❤❤
I'm there! This is among my 'Best Music Videos' playlist on UA-cam, along with 'Worth It'. What artistry! What beautiful music! What a gorgeous woman and sublime singer!
This is so freaking Beautiful. The song, locations, choreography, stying, and feel of the video is Incredible. Great job to all involved. 😊
I am a 69 Year old woman and the first time I heard song from Amber I was at work and the song was what if ‘ and I was hooked so I use Shazam to find out who the artist was and that’s how I discovered Amber Mark I love her vibe her individuality her spiritual awareness and presence and her deep knowing that a true artist is born not made so there’s not need for her to compromise her integrity as a person or and artist so there’s no need for her to sell her divinity and artistic craft to make so I have great admiration for her and I salute honor and applaud her and I love hers sound and authentic style of singing thank you Amber Mark keep up the good works love peace and blessings to you ❤
this looks like “don’t touch my hair” mixed with “formation” mixed with “ape sh*t” ✨
My thoughts exactly!! Love the song too 🎶
VERY THAT!
I was gonna say no joke THE EXACT same thing
Right🔥
Very SOLANGE
amber mark’s music is just *chefs kiss*
Solange kind of created a visual genre, a visual language and it clearly influenced Amber. and it's AMAZING!
black visuals
Period!
Did Solange direct her own video?
🤔
@@aGwEENapple Yes she directed or co-directed all her videos after True EP!
Carlotta Guerrero is the artistic director behind A Seat at the Table’s album cover and imagery. I’m sure Solange had input, but she got direction from a team of artists. Not sure who was behind the When I Get Home album.
Amazing visuals. She is giving me Solange, Kelsey Lu, Josephine Baker, and Sade.
Amazing vibes, first time hearing your music ❤️
Have you looked up her songs generous or heatwave yet? If you like this you'll love those
Welcome!
Thanks for the support, loved the video! ❤️
So glad you like it! 💕
I'm excited for you to delve into her discography, Miss Amber Mark is truly om another level
Giving me Solange / Beyoncé vibes, but with her own Unique je na sais quoi. I love it!! Congrats Amber, you are a queen, keep inspiring the culture, we need it... much love 💜
"je ne sais quoi" :)
Same omg! 💜 We stan a new queen.
I came here looking for this comment
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I found you a bag when you needed cash
Didn't even ask for the money back, save it
You know I got your back, baby
You already know, got a heart of gold
Don't go sell your soul
Don't go sell your soul, baby
What we got, I'm tryna save it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
This is not a competition
You are not the opposition
I just wanna see you win
Don't put me in this position
This is not a competition, come on, baby, let me in
Wanna be the greatest
Want someone to share it with, oh, I
I feel like we can make it, I know that we can make it
[Verse 2]
Set apart, lookin' at the stars
Had to raise the bar
Oh Lord, I'm on a different speed, in the foreign car
Let's go, I'm a different breed, had to leave a mark
Y'all know, grew up overseas, speakin' different languages
I been here all along with it
It's here for you, so come get it
When I'm on top, we all spendin', we all spendin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
This is not a competition
You are not the opposition
I just wanna see you win
Don't put me in this position
This is not a competition, come on, baby, let me in
Wanna be the greatest
Want someone to share it with, oh, I
I feel like we can make it, I know that we can make it
[Outro]
This is not a competition
('Tition, 'tition, 'tition, 'tition, 'tition, 'tition, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You are not the opposition
(Alright)
Damn, I really made it (Damn, I really made it)
Damn, I really made it (Damn, I really made it)
Know I really made it (We made it)
Damn, I fuckin' made it, yeah, yeah (We made it)
Damn, I really made it (Damn, I really made it)
Damn, I really made it (Damn, I really made it)
Know I really made it (We made it)
Fucking made it, yeah (Damn, I really made it)
[Interlude]
I swear (I swear)
Anything you want in this life, you can have it
First, you gotta dream it
Then you gotta live that shit
It's like clockwork, tick-tock work
And if you can do this with your friends, family, you made it
____Indonesia,23 June 2021🇮🇩❤____
I'm Indian and I really love this video and was intrigued by this new artist. then i found out that she spent her childhood in india ! now i'm seeing a lot of different indian styles in her work, from classical indian beats in the 3:33 am album, to her nude-style clothing here with the ponytail and gold jewellery, to some dance poses and the indian-style font on the cover sleeve of this song on spotify. i am in love and i feel a connection with this artist. Love this, love all of it! I hope more indians can find her work and get behind her
the vocals, the looks, the choreo
we came to SLAY on this one! 🔥
Such a bittersweet feeling... 🥲 idk if I’m happy that she’s underrated to enjoy her vibe not being as commercial as other artists, or if I hate that she’s not as much seen as she deserves... daaaamn
Exactly!!
Yeah! I believe in the music industry it may be good to be underrated. I’m a little worried about the artist H.E.R. She’s getting a lot of exposure which can be not so good in this Industry. You’re made to stop being your individual self to become a puppet.
I felt da same about,..Ari,..Snoh,..even Sza,..at one point,..but if she stays true 2 art,..cream always rises 2 da top
Right she has been KILLING it for the past 6 years.
As hook states this is not COMPETITION!! Miss Mark is on one and appears she could give zero f's, respectively ✌♥🙏
wish this song was longer! Want more of this! Crazy bassline.
I've been listening to Amber for about 2yrs. She's extremely talented. I don't know why I'm just hearing this song! I love, love, love it! Would love to see her in concert!
I'm hittin like before 1st note is out. Just love her sound, look and most def artistry❤
What the heck??!! Just stumbled on this amazing artist! Heard one song and had to listen to more....so far, so far beyond good! How come she ain't blowed up real good! Better than almost every mainstream female artist I've heard in recent years!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👑
I remember her being my early quarantine discovery and now seeing her rising makes me so proud.
It's the Solange effect for me. GET IT AMBER!!!
This is cocoa butter, this is diaspora of melanin, this is ethereal, this is the blueprint and uniquely beautiful.
Feel blessed to live in a time where this song & these visuals exist.
😘😘😘
You can always count on Amber to bring it! This song is powerful & inspiring. The visuals are beautiful too.
Congratulations, you beautiful artist. You weave your heart and love and precocious wisdom into all your transcendent work. I see angels all around you every time I watch. Thank you for being so vibrant and for expanding your gifts further each time you create. You have no limits. Danke schoen.
You're too sweet 🥺thank you 💜
@@AmberMark333 you have no limits and you have all powers, including the one that counts most: LOVE.
Amber you're incredible😍 love the song, the outfits, the visuals
💖 u
I love how Amber work the drums into her music. Always good beats
Hate that songs like this never make it to the radio. Love the vibes 🍯💟✊🏾
I appreciate the exquisite taste in this video such vibrant visuals and textures galore I am thankful to everyone involved in order to create art like this that helps manifest vibrations into the universe. You can feel the presence of a love hate battle in this track but we all know which is stronger!
Amber needs to drop an album already. Can't wait.
Congrats on co-directing. Girl, keep directing your own videos! You told a story here with the visuals that matches the musical story!
It's giving a nod to solange but very uniquely YOU.
Been following you for a few years! Love your progression.
This is not a competition, you not the opposition , I just wanna see you win. Yes beautiful song!!!
Another 🔥🎶❤ Every year for the last 3yrs you have made a song that I love & end up putting on repeat. "Love Me Right", "What If", & now this song...this my new ish, I love it❤❤❤
Glad they don't change the scene every 3 seconds like most videos. Gives you time to take in the visuals.
Heard this song for the first time yesterday, absolutely obsessed...and the video? Groundbreaking. Can't wait to catch you in concert when you come to the states
Stunning visuals! Such a beautiful song and video
Can’t wait for the album!!!
I don't have to shoot for the stars. I shine without the limelight. I don't need fame and fortune for validation. I don't have anything to compensate for by having an extreme need to have large amounts of cash. I don't have to share the same goals as anyone else. I am perfectly capable of being able to see someone else shine. I am fine with being backstage. I am proud of my aura. I see those who try to make it impossible to communicate. Young lady? You said it very well. Great performance. The beat is rockin. I STAN YOU.
THAT REFLECTIVE DRESS 😍🔥
This is like one of the best music videos I've ever seen, the locations, the direction, the attitude, the outfit, photography, everything in here looks more than perfect, fantastic
This is pure ART !!! ✨💙
Amber, you are easily the greatest musical artist of the last decade. Your albums are CONSISTENTLY gold. You are a love letter to music, send by God. I am so grateful to get to listen to you everyday.
Damn, what a woman! The voice, the art, the talent, you have it all
this is fire are u kidding!!!!!!!! so hyped for the next album!!!!!
i can't stop listen to her music, is addictive ♥
This bangs , I keep singing it in my head and I’m gonna replay the hell out of it 👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️
This is a Vibe fr love it. I would love to hear her to do a collab with Sza, jorja smith and Giveon too
Amber Mark, we love you in France ! Still following your new releases ;)
The song is ah amazing & the visuals are fire 🔥…what makes this legendary is that she did this in front of the Command center where The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers use to politic at 😭😭😭😭
When she sang the words Foreign Car, I got Kelsey Lu vibes! Because of her song Foreign Car!
Been cruising to work listening to this and back home, swooped in to get gas and got a look back like.... “is that new Amber Mark”?
What? Why doesn’t this have more views? This fire. That’s the power rangers tower.
I love to listen to this song when I succeed in something! I now live by the words: “first you gotta dream it, then you got to live that shit”
This deserves way more attention ! I love it ! Amber Mark you're so talented and you look wonderful ! This music video is art !
Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Fantastic first single, Amber. Yesssssssssss !!!!
Just heard this on Love and Hip hop Atlanta.... Got my ears open for you now
This is her moment I just know it! So beautiful, complex, stunning.
So happy i got this ad ❤ The visuals the song the talent is just 10/10😭💕💕
okay then if she a ten ten then where she gonna go now down!? 🙄🧵🐝
This video is amazing, it’s giving me Carlotta Guerrero’s aesthetic, When I get Home vibe
wow they really shot outside of the command center from power rangers ayy ayyy
notice the rangers colors they wearing as well 👁
She's in a lane of her own tbh 💚 first song of hers I ever heard was 1894 and I had it on repeat for so long 😂 and that was only the tip of the iceberg. Her evolution is something else
I'm getting 70's 90's vibes with that intro, it slapped, very inspirational.
Thank God You Tube sends its subscribers random new music. All I can say is ......all spring and summer long!!!!
Havent stopped listening to this song all day
О боже! Эта песня просто сладость для моих ушей🤤
Великолепное исполнение, и огромное количество нестабильных аккордов уходящих то в мажор, то в минор, звук будто бы ускользает то вниз то вверх, это очень необычный музыкальный подход, слышу такое впервые
Восторг!
I was so confused at the end when the woman started to speak german. Daaaamn I just love Amber
I believe her late mother is german. She dedicated her song monsoon to her.
This has my bopping through the clouds with my Jordan's dangling in the air and bliss at the cusp of reverence
These visuals are everything!! 🖤🤍
ahhhh i wish to go back to when i saw this for the first time…. LETS GET IT TO 1MILL
The song and the music video flow so well with each other, it's hard not to vibe and connect with it.
Nerd Moment: I love the fact location is at Zordon's Command Center for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ........yes I'm old lol 😅
Whoa that’s a cool fact!
I was trippin about that lol. She went zordon mode with the reflective outfit
How bout y’all just love the song without comparing artist to every other artist! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My championship song, ushering in the haters who can't see it was always about love.
I saw a fifteen second excerpt in an advert and I've finally found it!! I adore this song. Thanks for making my day Amber❤️
The more I listen the more obsessed I become😭
I can't believe it.. It is the literally THE BEST Music video that I've ever seen in 2021
The best song of 2021, should have won a Grammy.
Happy New Year to everyone under the comments 🎉
The director totally studied Solange and Beyoncé 🤷🏾♀️
