Music videoedit
A music video was produced for the song. It premiered on 3 August 2015[2] and interchanges between clips of Afrojack and Taylor singing to the track and a gradually increasing assortment of what starts off as young people but ends including a dwarf and an old person in a straw hat enjoying the facilities of an inflatable slide, a pool and a bus in a desert town in Western America. It ends with a couple getting married and driving off in a convertible filled with water.[3][4]
John Cameron of We've Got This Covered noted that the song's first drop "clashes significantly with Mike Taylor's sing-songy lyrics, driving the point home that sometimes an artist just needs to be comfortable with who they are and not stretch out their creative process too much if they don't have the time to do it right".[6]
