American singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez released the music video for SPIDER WEB, the sixth track from her third studio album, PORTALS, on December 4. SPIDER WEB became one of the most enigmatic songs from the latest album, generating high expectations among fans regarding the video.

Melanie not only consolidates her status as an artist thanks to this song, but also conveys profound reflections on today's culture and society. Both the song and the video deal with topics such as society's relationship with digital platforms and how they influence people.

For the production of SPIDER WEB Melanie Martinez combines elements of dark pop and electropop to create a sonic atmosphere that reflects the influence of social media on modern life. The music video not only enhances the auditory experience, but also provides a visual interpretation that accompanies the lyrics and their message.

The video reflects the metaphor about the influence of social media on society, using visual resources such as the image of a spider web that represents the ability of people to get caught in the internet, where digital platforms influence human emotions.
