Lizzo and the Southern University marching band are feeling “Good as Hell" after collaborating on a new music video for her No. 1 single.

In the clip, the eight-time Grammy nominee performs the platinum hit song with the full band, and we also see behind-the-scenes footage of the musicians and dancers preparing for the video.

Lizzo also dons a band uniform and shows off her her signature instrument, the flute.

“This is a special moment for me,” Lizzo commented on Instagram as she debuted the video, which was shot during homecoming on the first weekend of November.

“'Good as Hell' took a trip to Baton Rouge and was blessed by @su_humanjukebox and the dancing dolls at Southern University...Directed by the lovely Alan Ferguson," she added.

I love this video so much, like y’all look at my university😭😁😁 https://t.co/SgecOg74bz
