Chris Löfvén directed the video clip, which he calls as "a nightmare assignment". In a 2013 interview he said, "It was an extravaganza that was meant to look like the Russian Revolution, a mini-feature produced on a three-night shoot. It had fireworks and explosions and things being shot from helicopters". Lofven said he "probably spent the $25,000 budget on the first night of shooting." [1]
