Music video

Background and influence
[edit]
The song was inspired by the idea of short songs, specifically "You Suffer", and like its originator, it was more of a challenge then an idea. Its cover art refers to the duration of the song (meaning breaking a clock, or some may call it in a way, time).
The official two-word lyrics to the song are: "For what?". Kkaydes said about the song:
I came up across "You Suffer" By Napalm Death and I decided to make a song titled "-1 (shortest song ever)" a.k.a "for what?," it ended up being exactly 1 second long ) 0:00:9, under a second, but you got to round it up, and this was made. Like "You Suffer," the song was meant to be comedic for a challenge, I was genuinely suprised, I've never won a Guinness world record before.
The song only consists of two words and what seems like a synth in the background. "-1" is written in the keys G major and alt key 9B, with a count of 132 beats per minute.
