Watch: Yungblud recruits Florence Pugh to star in 'Zombie' music video
In the video, which arrived Friday, Pugh portrays a nurse who experiences the full breadth of human emotion while caring for various patients.
Pugh's character serves coffee, cries in the break room, talks to a woman undergoing chemo treatment and screams privately.
As the song continues, Pugh appears with angel wings.
Yungblud called the song "a love letter to nurses." The video struck a chord with healthcare workers who remarked on the song's resonance in the comments.
"Ugly crying by how beautiful this was," one commenter wrote.
"I'm so proud of you and what we made," Pugh wrote. "Well done babe."
The song will appear on Yungblud's album Idols, which will be released in two parts, with the first arriving June 20.
"Our most ambitious adventure yet," he wrote in a post promoting the album.
Part 1 will also include the previously released tracks "Hello Heaven, Hello" and "Lovesick Lullaby."
Tickets for his Idols tour, which kicks off in August, are on sale now.

Halftime performer Red Panda hospitalized after WNBA unicycle accident
Red Panda fell at halftime during the Commissioner's Cup title game between the Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever on Tuesday in Indianapolis. File Photo by Gary C. Caskey/UPI | License Photo July 2 (UPI) -- Iconic sports halftime entertainer Red Panda tumbled off her 7-foot unicycle and crashed to the court, ending her performance during an Indiana Fever-Minnesota Lynx game and resulting in a hospital visit. Acrobat Rong Niu, popularly known as Red Panda, fell seconds after stepping onto the apparatus during the Commissioner's Cup title game Tuesday at Target Center in Minneapolis. She steadied herself on a ladder before peddling toward half court. She waved her arms toward the crowd, smiled and lost her balance before falling forward and landing hard on the court. Red Panda was helped off the court before being helped out of the arena on a wheelchair. She clutched her left wrist and her back after the fall. Neither the WNBA nor the Lynx provided medical updates on Red Panda. An arena employee told The Athletic that she left in an ambulance, while a source told ESPN that she was taken to a hospital for observation. Red Panda, who is in her mid-50s, has appeared at NBA and WNBA halftime shows since 1993. She previously broke her arm in 2015 during practice and was sidelined for 10 months. Fever star Caitlin Clark, who did not play because of her lingering groin injury, mentioned Red Panda during postgame celebrations after the 74-59 triumph. "Red Panda, if you're watching, we love you," Clark said on Instagram live. The veteran halftime performer, who appeared on America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent, where she made the semifinals, previously broke her arm from a different fall. In 2018, her 7-foot unicycle -- worth $25,000 -- was stolen at the San Francisco International Airport. It was later replaced by the NBA's Golden State Warriors.

Watch: Rob McElhenney explains name change to 'Rob Mac'
1 of 3 | Rob McElhenney, now Rob Mac, arrives for the Primetime Emmy Awards in September. He explained the reason for his name change in an Instagram video Tuesday. File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo July 2 (UPI) -- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and star Rob McElhenney is changing his legal name. The actor, 48, explained why he is now going by Rob Mac in a video he shared to Instagram Tuesday. "Yes, I'm shortening my name to Rob Mac. Mostly a stage name, but I digress. Is it kind of douchey? Sure, but the amount of time that I have wasted trying to get people to either say or spell my name correctly is literally days of my life. Trust me, I added it up," he said. He assured fans the name change has nothing to do with family estrangement. "I love them and I want to stay connected," he said. He clarified, however, that the spelling of his surname has changed several times over the generations. "Most people already call me Rob Mac anyway," he added. He first announced the news in a story for Variety. TMZ reported last week that the actor had filed the documents for his name change in Los Angeles.
