Music video
In the song's disorienting video, Gallagher stares into a mirror, but only his expression sings back. Elsewhere, the camera flips upside down as Gallagher glides down a mysterious hallway, seated on a chair.[3]
The music video was released on 31 May 2017, and is directed by Francois Rousselet and produced by Riff Raff Film. The video has reached over 5 million views on Liam Gallagher's official YouTube channel.[4][5]
