The music video for the song was released in July 2016. When describing it, frontman Benjamin Burnley described it as a "modern sci-fi take on Adam and Eve," and cited influence from Gravity and Star Trek, "probably because I'm into that kind of stuff, it's probably subconsciously affected it." [1]
