Music video

The music video was shot in Los Angeles and it was directed by Antti Jokinen.[12] The video mixes movie clips with a romantic scenario involving the feisty singer and a man from the apartment next door. To convey the intensity of Johnsson's performance, the producer created an effect where the loudness of the music seems to cause the furnishings of the mans apartment to slide across the floor. The outside 'apartment' scene was shot at the Nate Starkman & Son building.

gollark: Again, a more complicated one doesn't mean better.
gollark: In any case, you seem to be interested in keeping the old one, so...
gollark: Doesn't mean "better",
