The story

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is a Copenhagen pop outfit built around singer Mette Lindberg and producer Lars Iversen. Heart Attack was the lead single from their second album, Out of Frequency, which came out at the start of 2012. It got a second wind years later when it landed in the 2025 movie Freakier Friday.

The band's own note on the video is short and honest: it's made from spontaneous freestyle dancing. Baris Aladag of Park 17 Filmproduktion in Germany directed. Magnet magazine summed it up as leopard-print spandex, flashing lights and glitter, with bright colors and retro geometric patterns rolling behind Lindberg as she has a total blast. No plot, no concept, just a woman dancing like nobody's billing her for it.
