Prior to release, the song featured on the first ever Relentless TV advert featuring footage of Professor Green drinking the energy drink whilst vandalizing[3] cars by walking on top of their roofs, and performing the track live alongside Sierra Kusterbeck. For the advert, the lyric in the first verse was adjusted in order to mention Relentless. The video was directed by Ross Cairns and filmed at various locations in London. Professor Green is a Relentless Energy Drink brand ambassador.[4]
