The official music video,directed by Elliot Sampson,was shot via split screen and plays on the duality of head and heart. It was described by CelebMix's Katrina Rees as:
The visual follows a day in the life of a particular man,and offers two very different takes.
On one side of the screen,we see a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. In his grey-coloured world,he struggles to get out of bed and start his day,he gets picked on by a gang of kids on his way to work,he misses the bus and is later targeted in the workplace too.
However,on the other side of the screen,we see a guy living his best life in a world full of colour. Getting ready for the day ahead with ease,he plays ball with the gang,enjoys music through his headphones as he waits for the bus,and is celebrated at work by everyone around him.
By the end of the evening,the two versions bump into each other,although whilst the man who’s been struggling is confused by it all,the happy-go-lucky version fills him hope before disappearing. Joel and MNEK (who is serving a serious look!) also appear in the video,with clips of them performing the song intertwined within the story.
