Music video

A music video for the song was released on 15 January 2021 at a total length of three minutes and forty-six seconds.[5] The video was directed by Keane Shaw and features Grennan and actor Luke Kelly and was inspired by Tom's relationship with his little brother. Talking about the video Grennan said, "This video is a representation of toxic masculinity and unconditional love, told via a story of two brothers. It was amazing to bring my song to life with one of my closest and long-time friends Keane Shaw, not only a close friend but someone whose artistic vision I admire immensely."[6][7]
