Content



The band's singer-guitarist Wesley Schultz stated in a press release: "The song 'Brightside' was recorded in a single day. It's like a 15-year-old's fever dream, an American love story in all its glory and heartbreak. The last couple left, on the run from something and all alone".

Music video



An accompanying video was released on September 29, 2021, and directed by Kyle Thrash. It was filmed at an American Legion Hall. At the beginning of the video, a variety of people answer the question: "What does love mean to you?" And showcases "the love of couples of all ages, races, and genders dance the waltz around the band as they perform the song." Schultz commented the video: "The 'Brightside' music video is like a documentary of the American love story. It features all real people - none of the people that appear in it are actors".

Live performance



On September 20, 2021, the band performed the song on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
