The story

Chameleon was PNAU's first new single in four years when it dropped in November 2016, and it came out swinging. The Australian dance act brought in singer Kira Divine, and the track climbed to number four on the Australian singles chart, topped the Australian club and dance charts, went four times platinum at home and won the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release in 2017. It led off their album Changa.

The video introduced Kira Divine's goddess persona, and the PNAU camp kept building that character into a whole visual world for the Changa album and tour. Director Toby Pike, who made their later Go Bang video, has said Chameleon is where that universe started.

Shape-shifting love on a disco heartbeat. Simple, sunny and built to be played loud with the windows down.
