This feeling of being comfortable in her own skin can be seen in the stop-motion video \u2013 premiered here exclusively \u2013 for the excellent Want It Back, in which the lyrics to the song are scrawled on her body (bed sheets, walls and iPad). Talking about the making of the video, Palmer says: \u201cI\u2019m so comfortable being naked at this point that I almost forget \u2026 I\u2019m also proud that that video has nudity, but it isn\u2019t sexual or erotic \u2026 it\u2019s using the body as a raw canvas, which I love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Filmed by Australian director Jim Batt, it\u2019s a brilliantly intimate and anarchic representation of the song, the line \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter if you want it back, you\u2019ve given it away\u201d made even more open and honest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"attribution\">(<span>Source:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>neil-gaiman: A few weeks ago in London, Amanda showed me this video in email.
