I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deliberately ignore' is the definition.
'avoid' can be an answer for 'ignore' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'deliberately' bit.

'a short recording about love' is the wordplay.
'short recording' becomes 'vid' (short for video).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'vid' placed around 'o' is 'void'.
'a'+'void'='AVOID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avoid that I've seen before include "Keep out of the way of" , "Refrain from (something)" , "Shirk" , "Bypass" , "Eschew" .)
