The video for "Offbeat" was directed by viral video director Ross Ching[4] (of Kina Grannis' "Valentine" music video fame)[5] and produced by Don Le of Fusion3Films. The concept for the video was Clara singing amongst inspiring visuals in a world filled with bubbles. It has amassed over 1,000,000 unique YouTube views so far.
