The emotional clip zeroes in on the struggle facing many immigrant families in the U.S., and it features an actual friend of the Madden brothers’ band, according to Rolling Stone. The family live and work in fear of possible deportation by I.C.E.:

“The video profiles a real life friend of the band and his parents as they work hard and contribute to their community even though they are under constant threat of deportation by I.C.E. Despite everything they are up against, they remain optimistic and proud to call themselves American.”

“Prayers” follows Generation Rx‘s first single, “Actual Pain.” And the new Good Charlotte album comes out next Friday, Sept. 14. Sound off in the comments section and let us know what you think of the band’s uncompromising new music video.
