Music video

The music video was released on 26 September 2017 on Kygo's YouTube channel. It was directed by Philip R. Lopez. Described by Billboard as "emotional", the song shows a little boy making his own rocket in the quest of chasing his recently deceased father. He found a note saying " You will always find me in the stars.- Love, Dad". The boy thought he could meet his dad in the stars so he took help of various people but he did not inform his mother as he was scared that his mission would be stopped. As Justin Jesso's voice gets strong,the boy reaches his quest. But however his mom was informed about the boy's invention by an old man. She was disappointed and feared to lose her son too, however the boy told her that he would always be in the stars. The mother cried and agreed to let her son accomplish his mission to chase his dad, so they release the Rocket Ship in the backyard with all the various people that helped the boy accompanying them. It was then that the woman faced her fear and she is left lonely .[2]
