## Music video

A music video for "Let's Get Back to Bed – Boy!," featuring both Connor and TQ, was directed by Oliver Sommer. It was largely filmed at Rio Vista, an elaborate Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in Vancouver's Southlands neighbourhood which was designed by architect Bernard Palmer in 1930 for Henry Frederick Reifel. The video begins at a large mansion, where Connor is in the bathtub. A party is happening downstairs, and we see TQ arriving and mingling with various women. Connor finishes getting ready and heads downstairs, catching the attention of TQ and the other guests. Connor and TQ then retire to the bedroom to engage in sexual intercourse, implied through the removal of clothing and the pair embracing. The video ends with Connor and TQ leaving the house and heading towards their car, before deciding they are not quite finished in the bedroom, heading back inside whilst embracing and laughing together.
