Joshua Baraka Explains Why ‘Wrong Places’ Has No Video

When Joshua Baraka dropped “Wrong Places” in May, the song exploded across the world.

It became one of the biggest anthems of the year with more than 14 million views on YouTube and over 12 million streams on Spotify at the time of writing.

With numbers like that, many fans expected a major music video to follow.

Instead, the same question has been repeating for months. Where is the video for “Wrong Places?”

During an appearance on Gagamel TV, Joshua finally addressed the speculation.

He revealed that he does not plan to shoot a video for the song, explaining that it has already done extremely well and that his focus has shifted to new material.

The time… also the song was already performing well, and I am going to release an album, so I leaned toward making videos for other songs and leaving this one. I do not think Wrong Places will have a music video, but you never know. Maybe later I will change my mind or my team will suggest it, but for now I do not think so.

He acknowledged that a video could push the track further, but said his attention is on his upcoming album.

It is true a video is very impactful, but a song like that needs a video that is really good. Right now I am focused on releasing my album. I am trying to see how to use the resources I have to fit everything. But let me see… maybe I will shoot a video for ‘Wrong Places.’

The good news for fans is that Joshua Baraka will release his debut album on November 28 2025.
