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, who is also Joe King's real life 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.
