Music video
The video, directed by Jamie Hewlett, Tim McCourt, and Max Taylor, was recorded while Gorillaz' virtual members were in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic and features their likenesses, which are noticeably scarred and bruised which Jamie Hewlett stated was the result of their fight in the music video for "Aries",[4] as well as footage of Octavian performing the track set against footage of moving roads and tunnels.[5] The video ends with a quote from playwright James Baldwin.
