For all the drama that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran's on-again, off-again relationship causes, it sure can inspire some pretty music and an accompanying music video that is equally as stunning. Today (Jan. 23), the "New Flame" singer released his latest music video for his new album X for the Kendrick Lamar featuring track "Autumn Leaves." And, he's dressing up in samurai gear and trying to chase after Tran, echoing the song's lyrical themes.
The music video for "Autumn Leaves" takes place in a lush, picturesque Asian landscape. Playing the injured warrior, Brown returns from battle, following Tran around the gardens of the temple. She looks stunning, wearing a red, leggy dress, though she pays Brown no mind.
He pines for her, keeping a slight distance as they walk through the forest, by the ocean and through caves.
In cutaways, Brown changes outfits, wearing more modern outfits (including sunglasses and a hoodie) he painfully and emotionally sings the song's regretful lyrics.
Lamar, who features in the song's third verse, doesn't appear in the music video. Instead, footage of various women in white bikinis by the water are heavily featured, symbolizing temptation. Brown mimes the lyrics, dressed in all white and standing in the ocean.
In the end, Brown and Tran are reunited and meet up. Rekindling their love... for now, at least.

"Autumn Leaves" is the latest single from Brown's new album X, which was released in September 2014. The album was previously led by singles "Loyal" and "New Flame."
