Music video

The official music video for "I'm Not the Only One" was directed by Luke Monaghan. It was released to YouTube on 1 August 2014.[4] The music video features Glee‍ '​s Dianna Agron as a scorned bride and The Mindy Project‍ '​s Chris Messina as the cause of and cure for her heartache.[4] Agron's character pieces together her husband's indiscretions.[4] Agron proceeds to uncork a bottle of white wine in the middle of her neighbourhood liquor store, drink away her problems, and then eventually set fire to Messina's possessions.[4] At the end of the video, she welcomes him back home as if nothing had happened.[4]
