The Environment Department of the Balearic Islands shared in a press release on Tuesday (Aug. 14) that the production company did not request the proper authorization before filming the music video. The Stillz-directed clip for the Dr. Luke-produced track, released on Thursday (Aug. 8) finds the superstar making memories in Ibiza and Formentera, as she spends the day on the beach before partying all night at the club.

Per the release, one of the scenes was filmed in the dunes of S’Espalmador, in a prohibited area marked by ropes. The Environment Department noted that the video is not a “crime against the environment,” but an infringement, as filming “can be authorized” when requested properly.
