I Didn't Mean It (2010) Magnet (2010) Shot At Redemption (2011)

Magnet is the fourth single from Esmeralda Dimuzio's album Inside. The song is an uptempo pop song with electric guitars and synths, reminiscent of her Growth Hormone and Imperfect Balance eras.

Originally Esmeralda had considered releasing an EP, but decided to focus on doing just one video, but then released the single with more B-sides than usually expected for a single.

The video features Esmeralda in a combination of flashback scenes playing with toys, and current scenes building toothpick replicas of famous landmarks. Ultimately, her hobby is disrupted by Dark Esmeralda sticking a magnet inside one of her replicas, which broke upon impact with a metal pole. She breaks the fourth wall at the very end, bringing her crew onto the set for a final photo. It is considered one of Esmeralda's most ambitious to date, following the very simple candid video for I Didn't Mean It.
