Music video

In the song's disorienting video, Gallagher is seen in a hall of mirrors. He later stares into a mirror, but only his reflection sings back. Elsewhere, the camera flips upside down as Gallagher glides down a mysterious hallway, seated on a chair. The music video was released on 31 May 2017, and is directed by François Rousselet and produced by Riff Raff Film.
