Music video

The music video, filmed in London, features Gallagher drifting by a graffiti-covered underpass and gazing out at the Palace of Westminster. One scene depicts Gallagher staring at a wall with the words "We Stand United With Manchester" on it, acting as a tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. At sunset, he navigates the song's titular district, past busy restaurants and supermarkets, as the music video's director, Charlie Lightening, zooms around with his camera. [2]

The music video was directed by Charlie Lightening and produced by Daniel Lightening. It currently has over 5 million views on YouTube. [3] [4]
