Music video

The music video was directed by Adam Rothlein and premiered on The Country Network, CMT, GAC and Vevo in November 2016. It is loosely based on the 2007 video for "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters, and features Lynch and his band playing in an all-white room in front of a big red screen. The screen shows black-and-white footage of a woman with red lips and red heels, made to look as if Lynch was imagining the scenes. Right as the last chorus hits, just like in the Foo Fighters video, the screen explodes right in the band's direction, and engulfs the band and Lynch in red powder. The video ends with Lynch and the band finishing the song messy, but unscathed.
