Music video

On 13 March 2015, a music video for the song directed by Ritchie was uploaded to VEVO and YouTube; the video shows Ritchie and his friends in his friend's house while having a raving party. He slowly gets drunk within the first minute and tries to leave the party, but ends up getting sent back along with the party goers giving Ritchie drinks (in which he refuses); as the video ends, Ritchie had gotten so upset that he pushes the camera out of his face.
