Music video
The official music video for the song was directed by Chip Tompkins. The music video was released on March 3, 2015, and as of August 2022, has over 32 million views.
The video's mid-century aesthetic reflects the song's musical production, which was recorded using exclusively vintage equipment to explore the synergy between early 1960s gospel and soul music. Visually complementing the track's swinging rhythm and intimate interplay between lead and background vocals, the video mirrors the retro arrangement, which features a descending organ line weaving around Bridges' triplet vocal phrasing.
