The location changes to fit to the verse-chorus-verse structure of the song. This is to differentiate between the verses. The costume links to the lyrics as it's about their love being like a teenage dream so they are dressing younger to show this. It links to the locations as casual clothing - jeans and tops - are what most teenagers wear when they go out. The costumes used are typical to the pop genre as it is mostly based in everyday wear.
The locations shown are popular teenage hang out spots so it would be fitting to the song as well as the costumes as they are wearing what is known to be 'normal' for these places.
The props shown are significant to the whole 'teenage' theme to it as they all have something to do with hobbies that teenagers may have e.g boxing, skateboarding, going to the cinemas etc.

The location changes quite often, but mostly to the structure. The location and the costumes don't have much to do with the lyrics except for the hospital location. This is because the video is just showing the relationship between the artist and his girlfriend. The costumes could link to any genre as they are varied amongst different styles e.g. Formal wear, casual wear, street wear etc. The locations are just in and around the house that the couple live in but the fact that it is a really big house with modern features is typical to the R&B genre as things are often glamourised in these videos.
The only prop that I think that links to the lyrics is the hospital equipment as they are trying to nurse him back to health. Everything else is just for the video. Often with R&B music videos, things are exaggerated. If they have a house, in a MV you'd see a mansion, if you have a normal swimming pool, they'd have an enormous one with 3 jacuzzis etc. so in a sense the props used in the video would seem typical to this genre.
