The backing vocalists all donned yellow T-shirts with the phrase "I USED TO BE IN TAKING BACK SUNDAY" on them - a reference to the constant line-up changes the band has undergone.

During the performance a black, glue-like liquid begins to drip from the ceiling and the band is slowly "sinking" into the stage, which is descending. The music video ends with Adam fully sinking into the glue and throwing the drum kit.
Directed by Travis Kopach. Casting was set in Brooklyn, NY and the audience is made up of fans wishing to partake in the video.
