Music video

The music video, directed by Jason Lester, was released to Fall Out Boy's Vevo channel on the same day the song was released. It portrays a parody of an infomercial, with the members of Fall Out Boy playing the song and auctioning off items from their past (such as the severed hand from multiple of their music videos). A phone number appears several times in the video. When called, the number allows you to fake "buy" the items on the video.[2][3]
