In the process of erasing the unhappy memories, the couple also revisited the happier times of love.

The accompanying music video for "Don't Say" was directed by Howard Kuo and Allan Shen.[7] The music video premiered on YouTube and QQ Music on November 4, 2015.[7] The video begins with Wei boarding a bus. He sits at the back and starts observing a girl who appears to be upset. The girl later receives a text message from her boyfriend, confronting to find out if she loves him. Inspired by the scene he saw, Wei starts writing lyrics on his notebook. After much struggles, the girl decides to reply to her boyfriend that she does not love him at all.
