Music video

The official music video was released on December 17, 2017 on Thomas Rhett's Vevo channel.[9]

In the video, a young girl named Ellie is seen playing dress up with her dolls and imagining her wedding day. Sam, the boy next door, peeks through the window and watches it all unfold before heading out to play football. As the song progresses, their friendship develops and Ellie becomes his biggest fan at a high school football game. Later, at a local diner, he almost kisses her.[10] However, she later ends up engaged to someone else, and the pain causes him to leave the wedding after dropping off the gift he got for her. Sam is later seen eating alone at the diner as he pours whiskey from his flask into a coffee cup. At the end of the video, Ellie leaves her wedding and returns, reciprocating Sam's feelings as he looks out the window at her.
