The music video for "Wrong Crowd" was released along with the single on 4 April 2016. It was directed by George Belfield and filmed in South Africa. The video begins with Odell watching a video of himself singing "Constellations", a track from his upcoming album, to a woman. As the music begins, Odell is seen lounging in his hotel room, drinking alone and getting dressed for the evening. Later shots in the video show Odell partying in a nightclub, surrounded by people and being showered with champagne.
