The music video for 'Crawl' sees the 20-year-old pining for Cassie when he makes his way through a snow-covered city.

Chris Brown has released the music video for his single "Crawl" during "The Wendy Williams Show" on Friday, November 13. At the beginning of the footage, the 20-year-old is videotaped pining for a girl, portrayed by Cassie, when he makes his way through a snow-covered city. In some parts of the video, he is also seen serenading the song in a desert.

Talking about the music video, director Joseph Kahn told MTV News, "The entire video for 'Crawl' was his idea. I'm talking every single idea in there is Chris', and it's pretty awesome. It's an interesting video for me, because it's so rare that music videos ever try to achieve anything emotional. With 'Crawl' you feel it in here [points to his heart]," Joseph said.

"Chris just basically told me a story of what he felt this video was going to be, with his heart glowing and how he's, like, cold. It is a very personal story," he went on explaining. "But it's told in such a graphic manner that I fell in love with the idea. It's Chris' story. Period. I am the pencil that put it down on the paper."

"Crawl" is the second single off Chris Brown's upcoming studio album "Graffiti", which will be dropped in U.S. stores on December 8. Recently, the Rihanna's ex-boyfriend admitted that the track is not about his own relationships, but it is more of a universal message dedicated to moving on past any type of heartache.
