In an interview with Drum Media [1] lead singer Ben King mentioned they shot a music video for the new version of the song in the Californian desert about hours out of LA. However, when the final product was revealed [2] it turned out to be a video featuring the band against a white backdrop with coloured lines, shapes and such with no traces of the Californian desert whatsoever. The video uses many special effects including film grains and transparency to give it an almost '80s feel. Whilst the video has been hailed by the band, it has also received criticism from their fans. [3]
