Music video
A music video for the song, directed by Poppy's former collaborator Titanic Sinclair was released on July 24, 2015 by Teen Vogue.[3] The video features cameos from Brandon Burtis, Matt Bennett, Jimmy Redhawk James and Rene Napoli. The video shows Poppy sitting in a chair in a Baphomet-like pose, while men in full-body outfits dance around her. Some men in business suits watch Poppy's every move as she gets up to dance. Poppy sits down at a table with the Devil, who sucks on a banana as a sexual symbol, annoying Poppy so much that she gets up and walks off-set. Poppy signs some fans' pictures of her, then walks back in and shoves aside the off-screen men in suits.
An acoustic performance of the song was uploaded to Poppy's YouTube channel on September 18, 2015.[4] The video features Poppy singing in front of the men in full-body suits.
