Music video

The music video for the song was issued in two separate parts and was directed by Stevie Russell.[3]

Oliver who is afflicted with a deformed face works in a company and is attracted to Mandy one of the co-workers, but she is cautious in developing any relation with him because of his deformity. In part one of the video, Oliver is bullied by three of his co-workers, who later on harass Mandy. But Oliver stands up for her, pushing them back. Mandy warms up to this fellow because of his defense of her against the bullies. In part two, Oliver forgets to wear his tie while going to work. While getting his tie, his dog slips through the open door and gets lost. The dog wanders the streets and also passes by a street band (Kodaline) performing. Oliver discovers the loss of his dog when he returns home and immediately goes on a hunt to find his dog and Mandy helps him in printing the posters that he distributes all over the locality. He eventually finds his dog in a farm land outside his locality.

The director of the two videos Stevie Russell plays the main character Oliver with his love interest Mandy being played by Irish actress Amy De Bhrún. The bullies are played by James Cosgrave, Tristan McConnell and Ciaran O'Grady.[4]
