Music video

An official music video was released on November 8, 2024. It depicts the story of the song in between clips of Jason Aldean performing in front of Nashville, Tennessee, showing a somber man at the bar. He is drinking from a bottle in a brown paper bag, as memories of joyful occasions with the woman he loved flash in his mind. At the end of the video, he wakes up after the night and moves on by taking out photos of him and his ex and stuffing them in an empty bottle which he tosses into a river. ^[3]
