[4] An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Jang Jaehyeok and Lee Kyeongsoon of BIBBIDI BOBBIDI BOO and uploaded onto CLC's official YouTube channel simultaneously at the time of release.
[10] On September 10, it was reported that the group sold 12,834 physical copies in its first week—a figure over 3.5 times higher than CLC's previous first-week sales record of 3,574 (set by their EP No.1, which they released in January 2019).
Instead of opting for the traditional helicopter, CLC decided to go down a more artistic route and express their message through the symbolism embedded in da Vinci's groundbreaking idea.
Like the aerial screw which was met with intense criticism and disappointment at first but paved the way for the modern-day helicopter, CLC lay out hope for their future success as a team.
Additionally, member Yujin stands in front of a pair of wings that resemble da Vinci's Ornithopter, or an Early flying machine, once again playing on themes of invention and curiosity.
Images of da Vinci's Vitruvian Man and Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam can also be seen in the background, representing the symbiotic nature of humanity and curiosity.
Additionally, many of the group and individual member shots are filmed in a set of bright led lights to accompany the lyrics which are loaded with references to the sky and stars.
The CLC members are clad in striking forest-green military outfits and bold black suit dresses, visually showing their strength and determination to succeed and spread their empowering message.
CLC’s Jang Ye-Eun shared back in July 2020 that she submitted a PowerPoint with ideas for the visual aspects of "Helicopter" to their label Cube Entertainment.
