Music video

In order to promote "Holding onto Heaven", Foxes released a music video, which totalled 3 minutes 31 seconds in length. The video starts off with her playing with a music box. As she gets up from the table it is revealed there are two different versions of the same party: One of them being gloomy and slow and the other being uplifting and happy as everyone dances to the song. In the end it turns out to have all been an imagination, Foxes winding down the same music box from the beginning.
