Music video

edit

Clean Bandit also released the video on YouTube on 25 February 2019, after postponing its launch several times due to technical problems. The video stars a character who resembles Donald Trump, mocking his childhood to his adulthood when he is elected president. The band did not say whether the character is actually Trump but said they wrote a script about "a boy whose power was taken away from him as a child and he grew up determined to take that power back."[1][2]
