The song's official video was released on July 2, 2019. 6ix9ine does not appear in the video, nor does his verse.[4]

Synopsis

[edit]

The video opens with A Boogie trapped on an airplane that just blew its engine. From there, the visual switches to him interacting with the female lead and cuts to various other scenes.[4] Complex found similarities between Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" video and noted that the video's scenes "are spliced together in a way that follows the trajectory of A Boogie's lyrics".[4]

"Swervin" peaked the highest in Belgium, where it reached number 19. The second highest peak was in Canada, where it peaked at number 24. The song was certified Platinum in Canada by Music Canada on March 5, 2019[5] and certified 6× Platinum in the United States by the RIAA for selling more than 6,000,000 copies on June 8, 2023.[6]
