Music video



The music video, directed by W.I.Z, was uploaded onto Hurts' official YouTube channel on 28 April 2010, following a trailer uploaded the day before. Their first professionally made music video, it features Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson in an audition hall surrounded by women dressed in similar attire to themselves. As Anderson plays piano, Hutchcraft watches the auditions in the reflection of the hall's mirror. The video was filmed in Bucharest, Romania, in Buftea studio along with Romanian actresses Laura Cosoi, Mdlina Ghiescu and others. Cosoi also starred in the video for their later song "Sunday".
