The video shows Marshmello being bullied by his fellow schoolmates. A sympathetic classmate goes to his house after school,but sees him creating music. The music video was filmed at "The Pegasus School" in California. She decides to record and share a video of her findings and Marshmello becomes more popular overnight. The video ends with Marshmello taking out his DJ controller,a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2,and stirring up a dance party in his classroom.
During the video,Marshmello is shown placing a rat in a cage with the label "Joel" on the front. This is reference to Canadian electronic music producer and DJ Joel "deadmau5" Zimmerman. The reason behind this joke was a series of tweets posted by the Canadian DJ blasting Marshmello for his "poor music" and calling his followers "brain-dead sheep". Marshmello responded jokingly asking if deadmau5 wanted to have a basketball match and the loser would buy dinner,after which,the Canadian DJ deleted all of his tweets that disputed Marshmello.
