Music video

The official lyric video for the song premiered on MetroLyrics on December 20, 2013, [4] before being uploaded to VEVO and YouTube on December 23, 2013. [5] In the video, the lyrics of the song are traced in the fogged up windows of a Kia Sorento by an unseen person in the dark of night. Amanda Hutchison of Metro Lyrics praised the video's "unique concept" and how well it fit with the song's lyrics. [4]

On March 7, 2014, the group released the official music video. [6] The video, shot in greyscale, shows each of the group members alone in an empty room with their hands covering their face, and an image of their face projected onto the backs of their hands. MuchMusic blogger Liam Scott described the visual effects in the video as "pretty nifty (if slightly creepy)," which helped deliver the titular chills. [7]
