The music video emphasises on enjoying life and the relationships around you. In the description of their video, it stated, "This is our way of saying live, love and have fun with the people we're so lucky to share this planet with! Make the most of your time here and know that we love you all endlessly and wish you the very best 2019! x".
=== Synopsis ===
The music video opens with all five resting in an open green space, residing by their camper, who is dubbed as 'Ruby', for its colour. A phone alarm rings, with Beaumont being the first to awaken. It pans over in order from Fowler, to Brooklyn Wyatt, to Mikey Cobban, and then to Duff. As they head into the camper, Beaumont takes the wheel and they instantly halt at a mansion. Packed with many partygoers, including the appearance of Team 10 member Nick Crompton, the pool is the main spark of interest. There is a mix of dancing and drinking, the conventional house party. It then briefly shows their romantic interests, along with usage of fire sparklers, and more "dancing" (also known as wildly gesticulating and stomping, uncoordinated). Next, they drive into central London, and are bombarded by a fleet of fans who excitedly chase after them. They all start "dancing" together, full of enthusiasm that makes up for their lacklustre moves. Upon standing in front of a landmark bridge, it brings Roadies back to their "What About Us" days, though rather than looking sullen and into the distance, they grin and appear cheerful. Suddenly, they stand on top of a building, going through a small choreographed piece, some of it being recognised from their 2017 "I'm the One" cover. It flickers through shots of their previous locations, signifying the video coming close to an end. At last, they link hands and thrust their arms up to the sky, with the city below and warm sunset enveloping them. Audio is heard, with Duff commenting on wanting to get down. Alas, nobody comforts him.
