The visual follows FINNEAS as he breaks into a jewelry shop. He smashes through the glass and tries on long diamond necklaces and huge gold rings as he sings, “Bang bang/Knocking on my door/’Do you have a dollar, would you like to fund a war?'”

FINNEAS spoke about the meaning behind the song in a press release, saying, “Even if we are living through a time of chaos and uncertainty, the human experience is never going to exclude love, sex, fun, leisure, and adventure. If you’re in love, you’re going to write a love song. It’s how the brain works.”

The video was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Philip Andelman, who has previously worked with Rihanna and John Mayer.
