Singer, dancer and actress Alyson Stoner shows off a side of her we've never seen before in her latest music video "Back To Church." In addition, Stoner is a finalist in the prestigious Macy's iHeartRadio #RISINGSTAR contest.

Directed by Sherif Higazy, the video imagery takes the viewer through a mysterious jungle on an LA rooftop and we see Stoner surrounded by animalistic dancers, each displaying eccentric and underground styles of movement.

Lyrically, Stoner sings candidly about the darker, messier sides of ourselves. She comes face-to-face with desire and impulse in a place where she is fully human and authentic without judgement.
