He really was so normal, met the bare minimum of being a decent person, and yet she was so infatuated with him. At first I wrote this as a joke because I always called him devastatingly mediocre just to tease her, but when I showed it to my band they loved it and we decided to make it something real. I think it actually holds a lot of meaning for a lot of people &#8211; it&#8217;s so easy to fall in love with someone just because you want to be in love, regardless of whether or not it really works.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Deanna Petcoff - Devastatingly Mediocre (Official Video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/keS7Tte3BxI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was directed by&nbsp;<strong>Michael Pugacewicz&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Paige Foskett<\/strong>, who shared:&nbsp;<em>&#8220;we wanted to capture the essence of repeating a vicious cycle with dating &#8211; how easy and relatable it is to keep dating the same person over and over until you learn whatever lesson you&#8217;re supposed to learn. We felt like this song really begged us to lean into the campy early 2000s Avril Lavigne skater boy visuals, including the use of a handy cam to elevate the timelessness of this type of love interest, especially since we are seeing a comeback of this era. It was fun for us to put Deanna on a pedestal and give her the power in this video.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow&nbsp;<strong>Deanna Petcoff&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deannapetcoffmusic\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/deanna_petcoff\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/deannapetcoff\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m digging this one, and loving the video too&#8230;. the track is&nbsp;Devastatingly Mediocre&nbsp;(brilliant name, but it is anything but&#8230;) from&nbsp;Deanna Petcoff.
