When asked about the concept behind the video, Jesse Clegg shared, “In one sense there’s a sadness that arises from missing someone, but it’s also a blessing to have those special people in life that we are so connected to and miss them when we aren’t with them. The video tries to convey that longing but also the joy of finally reconnecting.”
The music video was filmed in Johannesburg and Cape Town. “Cape Town is like a character in the story,” Jesse explained. “We also received support from Inverroche Gin and The Taj Hotel who helped to make the video possible,” While most of the video was shot in Cape Town, the performance shots were shot in Johannesburg. “I enjoyed performing the song solo to camera,” Jesse shared. “I wrote the song in LA and was feeling homesick and missing my family. To be back home and sing it for the music video was a nice full-circle moment.”
