The video is set to the Claudius Mittendorfer (Weezer, Parquet Courts, We Are Scientists) mix of the song and was directed by Joshua Shoemaker. 'This video is a total mind f**k, and I really love the colors,' says Gallo. 'The level of genius and work it took Joshua and his partner Albert to conceptualize it and build the world it takes place in from zero, and then find a way to shoot it all in one shot is beyond me.

Shoemaker told me he was in a long bout of depression and making this video pulled him out of it and that's really what the song is all about - making people happy and helping each other out as humans'.
