The band performed the track on Alan Carr: Chatty Man Stand Up to Cancer special, broadcast on 26 October 2015,[3] and TFI Friday on 6 November 2015. It was later performed at the American Music Awards, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, Sirius XM Radio, at the Radio 1 Teen Awards, on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Elvis Duran and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The video directed by Isaac Rentz, shot in Los Angeles, California begins with the band members working menial jobs, Calum as a dog walker, Ashton as a dino suit wearing birthday party entertainer, Michael as a street mascot promoting hot dogs and Luke as a mercilessly abused office desk drone. Fantasy sequences depict goofing off at a palatial Pasadena mansion with middle-aged men as bagpipers, scenes of Mexican-style wrestling, polo players on segways, water sliding in body taping, throwing money around and camera mugging dressed like hustler/pimp/gangsta-rappers, hunting Ashton in animal suits through a low-cut hedgemaze, ending with Ashton beaten with pool noodles. Ashton throws the birthday cake on the ground, then the band member soak in a hot tub with one of the wrestlers, ignoring the mega-sized pizza that has just been ordered, and then they all jump in the pool. A narrator announces the fate of each band member.[4]
