Music video[edit]
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]
