A music video was released on 17 September, it was directed by Tim Fox, the director of o Saris' 'The Addict' and Zico Chain's 'New Romantic'. The video features Cilmi and a long-haired actor in a space other-worldly atmosphere that reminds us of her Ten lead single On a Mission.
Composition
"Symmetry" was co-written by Tom Fuller, with whom she already worked with Sweeter In History. It is an enercig ballad that reminds us of her Defender, with a romantic side, that has been inspired by Cilmi's former relationship.
The website "Planet Music Reviews" described Symmetry as a "pop (song) with elements of rock. I found this to be infectious and it showed that she went back to her original style which featured on début album Lessons To Be Learned. Symmetry was a promising track and it is a definite for album #3 in my books."
Music video
About this music video, released on 17 November 2013, Tim Fox said : "The song Symmetry is about two people becoming so symbiotic they start to mirror each other. I didn't want to do the obvious of using a mirror/kaleidoscope effect on everything, so instead we followed the theme of planets and things aligning. The song takes place under the ominous presence of a black hole its dark forces pulling everything together.
"We used a few hands-on, DIY effects such as waving pieces of cloth around Gabriella - Me and the crew are just off screen waving them frantically! We also used a projector to align a projection of Gabriella singing onto Gabriella - it took a bit of explaining but you'll understand when you see it.
