Music video
The video starts with a young girl stitching a picture of the Galantis' Seafox in a jacket while humming the song. She paints her nose and dons the jacket and leaves the house with her face painted like an animal. Other children walk with their face painted to an abandoned building. The girl then slowly makes her way to the building, while more children with their face painted join her. The girl then enters the building and confronts another girl with her face painted. The two then have a dance-off, with the girl winning while the other one falls and disappears. The video has since reached 100 million views on YouTube. The video features product placement by Converse All-Star shoes.
