Music video

The music video for the single was released on December 6, 2013. It features the guest star Candice King from The Vampire Diaries, Joe King's then-wife, and holds its setting at a bar. In the video, a stranger begins to harass Candice, so guitarist Joe King initiates a fight. The fight progresses and comes to include the entire band, and ends when the band escapes the bar on motorcycles. The video is heavily inspired by a scene from The Blues Brothers in which similar proceedings in bar take place.
