Background

Music video

The music video was directed by Nigel Dick and was filmed on August 31, 2012 in McLeansville, North Carolina at Harold's Farm. [2] [3] Chris Daughtry told Extra, "The concept behind the video is basically I'm observing this young couple who's obviously in love and I'm playing their theme song." "Chris plays the guitar alone in the video, which takes place in a field. Not having the band in it was by design. "It didn't feel like a band video and I didn't want to put them on blankets, you know out in the field on a picnic or something… that would have just been weird." The video premiered on Extra on September 27, 2012. [4]
