Cut. That’s enough!".[3] Michelle had previously rapped on a remix to American rapper Yo Gotti's 2015 single "Down in the DM",[4][10] and during her 2012 mixtape 0 Fucks Given.[11]

Throughout the video, Michelle is shown in "an all female crew vs. crew battle" in a trailer park.[17] Opening with a scene of Michelle playing cards and drinking brown liquor with her friends outside her pink mobile home,[9][31] the video transitions to the singer fighting with a group of girls and dancing in the street.[5][9][18] She is shown wearing colorful clothing, including a rainbow-colored wig and a fur coat.[9][12] She is also seen cleaning her house while wearing a sheer dress, pink heels, and a blonde bob cut.[9] T-Pain does not appear in the video.[5][19] Along with the music video, Michelle also promoted "Mindful" through a performance on the VH1 special, A Night with K.

Various critics noted the video for its use of bright colors.[10][9][18] Victoria Johnson highlighted the singer's pink jacket decorated with the words, "Slay Michelle", which she said is reminiscent of the jackets worn by the Pink Ladies in the 1978 film Grease.[12] Revolt's Seriah Buckler praised the video as "full of color and sass" and representative of Michelle's unapologetic personality.[17]
