<p>Erykah Badu attempted to make a strong point in her just released music video for "Window Seat." While she says the video is aimed at the phenomena group-think, Badu admits filming the project was "petrifying" but later liberating.</p><p>"I am grateful," Badu told fans this week. "I was petrified while shooting this video … but liberation began to set in.&nbsp;I conquered many fears in that few moments."</p><p>Gradually stripping articles of clothing throughout the nearly six minute video, Badu has drawn much attention from its climax, a scene that not only features her removing undergarments but bending down only to be shot seconds later (watch the video below). After the shot and collapse, a man yells "groupthink," followed&nbsp;by Badu’s words:&nbsp;"they play it safe. They are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs ingesting more and more fear with each act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups…. less guilt to&nbsp;swallow. They are us. This is what we have become, afraid to respect an individual. A single person within a circumstance can move one to change to love ourself.. to evolve."</p><p>Confirming the video’s message, which derives from ‘Group Think’ (a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing), …Badu says "We are ALL guilty of groupthink we have all been VICTIMS of groupthink."</p>
