El Paso desert, burrito eatery featured in country music video 'Singles You Up'

Rising country singer Jordan Davis was looking for a taste of West Texas for his music video, so he came to the westernmost edge of the state.

Released earlier this month, the video for “Singles You Up,” about a guy longing for a girl who’s already taken, was shot in this border city of El Paso.

The single, which was released in summer 2017, includes the lyrics, “If he ever singles you up, if he’s ever stupid enough, I’ma be the first one calling you baby.”

The video premiered on Rolling Stone Country on Jan. 10.

“The clip, which alternates between lo-fi smartphone footage and slick, professional takes, was shot in El Paso, Texas, and directed by Eric Ryan Anderson,” the magazine said in its online article.

“I love the wide open spaces. I love the desert,” the bearded country crooner from Shreveport, La., is quoted as saying. “I don't know if I'd ever want to live in West Texas, but I sure like going out there. Whenever I had the initial idea of what I wanted (the video) to look like, I was seeing exactly what West Texas is.”

The video shows the vast El Paso desert with tumbleweeds abound and the mountains in the background, and shows Davis walking into Conchita’s Burritos, a small colorful eatery at 6730 Alameda Ave. in Central El Paso, with the girl.
