Music video
The official music video for "Who Do You Love" premiered on October 10, 2016.[12] It was produced by Mad Ruk Entertainment and took three days to film.[13] In lieu of a conventional video shoot, the group opted to direct the clip's $50,000 budget towards charitable endeavours, in keeping with the "vibe" of the song.[3] A camera crew followed the four members around Vancouver, British Columbia as they performed random acts of kindness, contributed towards a school's music program, and spent time with their families. According to drummer Ian Casselman, they were "trying to inspire people to do good things," with this video and thus ended it with the song's title displayed across the screen with the word "you" italicized for emphasis.[3]
