Music video

The song's music video was premiered the same day the song was released, on 17 March 2017. It was directed by Clean Bandit's members Grace Chatto and Jack Patterson and features Larsson in a glittery dress backed by Clean Bandit and an orchestra while an emotional story plays out. The video starts off with a young man riding his bike and cuts to a crash scene. The next scenes show a same-sex couple engaged in various activities, intercalated by scenes of one of the men grieving and visiting the spots they used to go as a couple. He then begins to write music again as we find out he is a composer and his partner was his inspiration. By the end, he has composed a beautiful symphony in his partner's memory. The video ends with him looking out into the crowd while his deceased partner looks on proudly.[3]

As of September 2018, the video has over 740 million views on YouTube.[5]
