Ana Bakhaf Min el Commitment (أنا بخاف من الكوميتمنت) is an angsty, Jordanian indie-rock song shares the universal message of being afraid of commitment in a relationship. The lyrics follow the singer’s fears of dependency on his new crush and, later, his regrets over pursuing the relationship at all. The music video is all filmed in Amman so, if you’re familiar with the city, try to spot King Hussein Bridge and other sites about town.
