Cher has released the music video for her song “SOS,” a cover of ABBA’s hit single.

Directed by Jake Wilson, the video draws plenty of inspiration from ABBA’s original music video for the song. However, this version stars an all-female cast including some famous faces such as pop singer Betty Who, “Transparent” star Trace Lysette, comedian Sabrina Jalees and actress/singer Rumer Willis.

Cher herself doesn’t appear which leaves the focus on the video’s message— the importance of women empowering each other.

“SOS” is included on “Dancing Queen,” Cher’s album of ABBA covers, which will be released on Sept. 28.
