We love the video for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's Only Human, it's rather lovely.

However, we couldn't help but notice that it really, really reminded us of Shakira's Whenever, Wherever... but a bit slower and magical.

We became more and more and more obsessed with this until we decided to explore our theory through the medium of gifs... and we think it kind of works.
