Background and development

The music video for Coolin' was shot January 8–9, 2017 in Sydney, Australia at the QT Hotel.[1] A two day shoot, it was filmed after the completion of the singer's Australian leg of her Smoove Jones Show Tour (2016).[1] While on tour in Australia, Harrison began a search for a music director. Subsequently, she was introduced to Matt Sharp, a local Australian director. Satisfied with Sharp's work, Harrison hired and appointed him in charge of shooting the music video.[1][2] For the shoot, the singer enlisted an entire Australian team and was styled by Aussie designers such as Alice McCall, Kaliver, Baby Likes To Pony, Dejna Kantarevic, Jacinta James; topped off with Tessarella House Jewellery.[3] Speaking on behalf of the music video location and why it was chosen, director Matt Sharp replied:[1]

“The classic design and character of the suites made QT Sydney a no-brainer for the shoot location. The hotel transported us to an elegant, timeless and unique world that provided the perfect aesthetic for Mya’s performance,”he says.
