Music video

The official music video was directed by Max and Dania. The music video used a life sized cardboard image of Conlon, since he was not present at the time of filming having actually left the band. The video was also the last music video that the band recorded together before their 2013 reunion, as the video for "Closer to Me" was a compilation of old video footage, and the video for "Rock the Party" was animated.
