Music video

The music video for the song was directed by W.I.Z..[1] The clip, which shows a love story set in the 1950s,[2] was described by W.I.Z. as "an imagined hybrid of pop-art screenprint, hand tinting and Technicolour film". W.I.Z. also explained that "[We wanted] playful, sensual ideas of teen angst, rock and roll and Americana; we wanted to a make a piece that was urgent as well as effortless, precision with abandon".[1]
