The Pitch Perfect craze isn’t over yet. Not only did much of the cast reunite to perform at Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards, but star Anna Kendrick (who was not at the ceremony) has just released a new video for her surprise hit single “Cups.”

The original version of the track has already reached No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100, but perhaps the remixed tune and new music video, directed by Pitch Perfect helmer Jason Moore, will help the song reach a new peak.
