Music video

The music video was uploaded on September 29, 2020. The visual depicts all five members performing on a drenched stage, sifting through rushing water. The video is reminiscent of action films, with the members singing from a cell tower that is soon to be struck by godzilla, or atop a jacked up car in a junkyard or even floating mid-air. Lastly, the group joins in one of the closing scenes, emulating the 1974 album cover of Queen's Queen II — with band member Avery's arms crossed across his chest, surrounded by his bandmates. [5]
