Synopsis
 |
The video starts off with a shot of a naked woman, which moves on to a wounded wolf running from a handful of human hunters. It is shown that the wolf is supernatural, as it is able to make the hunters "explode" on every breakdown of the song. The "explosions" depict the hunters and the landscape as composed by tiny polygons, as if everything were part of a computer simulated reality. At the end of the music video, the canine then transforms back into the naked woman at the start.
Location
The video was shot on-location in Iceland, at Langjökull, and at Reykjanes, in Krýsuvík and near Reykjanesviti.[8]
The music video, in France, was broadcast with a warning Not advised for kids under 10 years (in French : déconseillé aux moins de 10 ans) following explosion scenes, blood, violence and nudity than its content, although some channels broadcast it only blurring or without blurring and without warning.

Critical reception
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review stating:
After a global conquering hook-up with Flo Rida she's returned to where it all began with David Guetta, who'll be hoping that lightning strikes twice after the spectacular and chart-topping 'Titanium'. Once again, it's the heartfelt lyrics that shine over the handbag house as she confesses: "You hunted me down like a wolf, a predator/ ...I felt like a deer in your lights" with the same inimitable gusto. The result is nothing we haven't heard already, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.[9]
