The video for the song comes in two versions (It's unknown whether which one debut first):

The original version shows more to the song. The video starts with a party that revolves around a girl dancing with someone. The boys are featured in different scenes: on a couch and a hallway rooftop. Each one start to appear and vice-versa.

The black & white version shows them getting out of a car during the rain and run to a warehouse to sing. The boys are seen wearing leather/cotton jackets over turtleneck sweaters, plaid t-shirts, etc. They are seen in the rain singing while having the car next to them.
