Music video
The music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered in August 2016. The video consists of Brian and Tyler as racecar drivers and Tim McGraw as the owner of the cars. The drivers are friends at first but fight after Tyler puts Brian into the wall at the end of the second race. They reconcile after Brian spins Tyler out and ends up flipping Tyler's car. Brian then goes to help Tyler get out of the car. Tyler's car catches on fire then the car explodes with Tyler in it and his daughter says daddy and starts to cry, Then Brian ends up pulling him out, against track official and firefighter orders. The video ends with Tyler asking Brian if he won with Brian responding "We all Did". The video has them acting only (without singing), the first FGL video to do so.[8] The video was shot in Hohenwald, Tennessee.
