Music video

An accompanying music video was directed by Mishka Kornai.^[2] Produced by Ryan Huffman for Whitelist.tv in conjunction with Google, it was captured entirely on 23 Google Pixel 2 smartphones.^[2] Legend commented that "the song and the video are about a magical night where you meet someone you immediately connect with and can envision a future together [...] You’re single, dating, probably using all the apps people use now (I haven’t dated since the advent of Tinder, etc, but it’s a fascinating era in romance), and not finding someone special. But one night – maybe caught up in the music or the drinks or whatever – you meet someone that changes everything."^[2]
