Music video

The music video was released on June 22, 2018. The video starts with Tedder and the other OneRepublic musicians wearing a mask. It works as a warning, as a reflection of near reality in its profound crisis. It reflects the possible outcome of manmade destruction of the Earth by going to war. Nevertheless, in the end, it is revealed that Tedder was imagining all the destruction in his mind. At the very end, Tedder saw the television showing the consequences of global warming.
