Forget Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard—we’re craving a gender-flipped fantasy starring our pixie-cut blonde, Maisie Peters, blue-steeling in black shades like she’s guarding state secrets instead of your heart. It’s all in service of ‘My Regards,’ co-produced by Ian Fitchuk (yes, the mind behind Kacey Musgraves and Stephen Sanchez) and co-written and produced by Nick Lobel (of Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus fame), alongside Maisie herself. The track—cheeky, possessive, and gloriously self-aware—is basically a love letter that winks while it guards the door.
And honestly? There’s so much we’re obsessed with from this video-slash-single drop. The all-star creative squad. The wardrobe that could probably get its own security detail. And, of course, the soon-to-be-everywhere choreography destined to infiltrate your TikTok FYP with military precision. So let’s spot the eagle circling the nest and dive in. 🕶️🦅💋
Operation: Classified Poetry Is A Go
Part visual storyteller, part lover girl on steroids, bodyguard Maisie writes like someone who just caught user_fangirl09 red-handed, deep in a 2 a.m. Instagram excavation of her boyfriend’s feed and accidentally liking a photo from two years back. She’s already sketched the mission plan, neutralised the perceived threat, and done it using her weapon of choice—a glitter pen (very Taylor Swift coded, obviously).
All of it funnels into lines like, “But the problem is he’s mine, and it’s headline news,” which—fair enough—because our girl is famous and the tabloids would absolutely eat that up. The lyrics are poetic, saucy, and leave you wondering whether she’s actually serious or just being deliciously cheeky.
And honestly, in her defence, she does toss out a “‘Scuse me, sorry” in a Sussex accent between lines about her perfume (likely Giorgio Armani, given her androgynous campaign with them) being the only air he breathes, and spoiling him with hotel stays at the The Ritz London—all, of course, penned “from his bedroom.”
Assembling The Elite Unit: Mission Success Assured
The Powerpuff Girls, Totally Spies!—all the best team-ups come with an elite squad, and Maisie’s got hers on lock. Benny Drama, aka Benito Skinner, rolls in the melodrama by being an absolute heartthrob with an allegiance of fans that bodyguard Maisie would frankly have to shield him from.
Meanwhile, sneaking out the back of her Chicken Shop Date segment, Amelia Dimoldenberg steps behind the camera to direct the video, letting her genius comedy instincts run wild as Maisie and Benito awkwardly dance through the halls of Addington Palace, deep in the heart of South London. It feels like a covert-op meets a rom-com meets a TikTok fever dream—and the squad chemistry is half the fun.
Secure The Fit: Glamour Protocol Activated
With her pixie-blonde cut pinned back by two perfectly 90s clips and her lips pursed in burgundy, it’s obvious from the black shades alone that Maisie is on yet another mission: to slay. What’s so spunky about the video is that it doesn’t just play with the protector-and-protectee trope—it threads the whole subversion straight through the styling. Any hint of a femme silhouette is left on the cutting-room floor in favour of a full suit and leather gloves, all pulled together by Steph Major.
The creative aesthetic trickles out into the fans’ looks, too: an “I love you” broken up by gigantic red hearts reflects the over-the-top devotion toward Benny Drama’s character, styled by Lucy Bonner. Jake Sammis outfits Benito in that laid-back actor uniform—jeans, belt, plaid shirt, and, of course, matching shades to Maisie. It’s giving coordinated chaos, celeb crush fever, and covert-ops chic all at once.
Movement Intel: Steps Locked, Target Rhythm Acquired
Because while fangirls are busy chasing you outside, naturally, your bodyguard is inside… learning dance choreography. We see you, promotional TikTok routine, unfolding step by step like part of her training arc. And if you want to learn the moves too, don’t stress—there’s a full run-through of the choreography tucked right into the credits of the music video, practically begging you to join the mission.
Florals Under Surveillance
Our daisy-eyed girl, Maisie, is gearing up to drop Florescence, her third studio album, co-produced by Ian Fitchuck and blooming with collabs from Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford, arriving May 15th. But don’t wilt on us just yet—while we wait for the petals to unfurl, she’s launching Before The Bloom, a mini-tour sprouting in Sydney, Australia, on March 1st at the Enmore Theatre before drifting across East Asia, Europe, the UK, the US, and Canada.
