" We&amp;#039;ve been swooning all morning over Cody Simpson&amp;#039;s newest music video for &amp;quot;Surfboard,&amp;quot; which totally makes you feel like it&amp;#039;s summer already (ugh, if only). But also because we&amp;#039;re OBSESSED with the epic chemistry between the cutie and his real-life girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. When we caught up with the singer, Cody couldn&amp;#039;t wait to tell us why his new video marks an important change in his career\u2014and why his relationship with Gigi is a huge part of that! 17: How is Surfboard different than your other videos? Surfboard was one of the first videos I produced in this next phase of my career. I feel like I&amp;#039;ve just been through that period where you mature in a really short amount of time. Going into the studio and really finding out what I want to do and where I want to go next, and how I want everything to sound and look, has been a great experience for me. 17: Seventeen readers say that you and Gigi are definitely one of their fave celeb couples. Was it your idea to include her in the video? Yeah, it was my idea. It was only natural for me to want to have her in it because the chemistry is real. She was perfect. It was funny because there was some kissing scenes and when they had to cut, we just kept going! It was just like hanging out with my girlfriend on the beach. The chemistry was very natural, and I think people can see that. 17: What&amp;#039;s the best love advice you&amp;#039;ve ever gotten? Honesty is very important. I&amp;#039;ve never been a fan of playing games. With Gigi, there were never any games. Life is so short\u2014if you feel something for someone, tell them. There&amp;#039;s other people out there if that one doesn&amp;#039;t work out! It&amp;#039;s important not to take things too seriously. If a girl gets broken up with, she thinks it&amp;#039;s the end of the world, but it&amp;#039;s really just the start of your world! Just relax and realize that there are 5 billion people in this world. Aw, love him\u2014and his new music video. Check it out below!      What do you think of Cody&amp;#039;s new Surfboard video?
