Music video

The music video was directed by Focus Creeps and was released on 16 June 2014.^[5] In the video, a woman (Stephanie Sigman)^[6] sits on her couch, and watches footage of the band recording in the studio. She gets fixated on frontman Alex Turner and starts crying, dancing, and puts her face close to the television. Towards the end, she also appears in the recording, alluding to, that in the story, they were a couple and now they had broken up.^[7]

Critical reception

In a 10/10 review of AM, Mike Williams of NME wrote that the song "swirls with such orchestral intensity that it wouldn’t feel out of place on a second Last Shadow Puppets album."^[8] Mic Wright of The Quietus commented that the song "has clicks, claps and the kind of catchy hooks that'll get you a job pumping out new songs for Icona Pop."^[9]
