The music video for "Need You Now" was directed by Mick Jones [2] and released on 27 April 2017. [3] The video charts a man's inner demons, addiction problems and continual self-destruction. Lewis explained to MusicFeeds: "Instead of the video being a direct reflection of the lyrics, we came up with this dark idea of this guy who is keeping everything together on the surface but on weekends he loses himself. I have seen a lot of friends who have gone through that, so it's close to home for me." [4]
