Music video
The release of the music video for "Sing Me to Sleep" was published on Walker's YouTube channel on 2 June 2016.
An accompanying music video for the single was shot in Hong Kong. The video shows the young man from the music video of "Faded", as well as another man and a women, walking and running in the city of Hong Kong. Throughout the video, the camera filter transitions from normal to thermal sensor, with some buildings and pedestrians occasionally glitching as though from the viewer's point of view. At the end, the three characters meet up inside a warehouse in an industrial building, where they assemble some sort of machine together, which projects glowing blue lines throughout the city of Hong Kong, as the video glitches and ends.
