The video starts of with a close up on Florence's face, it then goes to her inside a heart made of flowers and she takes them everywhere with her, then she dances through balloons, a man then enters the video and she starts beating him up, at the end she goes mental and destroys the heart made of flowers. |

Reviews
Musicomh.com question the song by saying "Those lyrics are likely to prove pretty contentious - is Welch condoning domestic violence with lines like "a kiss with a fist is better than none"? Or is it a character sketch of a woman cowed into submission by her violent lover?" but finished that paragraph by saying "Whatever the meaning, this is an exhilarating debut single."[1]
leedsmusicscene.net gave the song three stars out of five, saying that "The single sees a punchy garage-blues racket (albeit acoustic led) accompaniment to Florence, who sticks to the fore throughout by belting out a soulful yet feisty Joplin-esque growl." they then went on to say this about the b-side "Florence belts out another powerful vocal on Cold War Kids cover 'Hospital Beds', this time over the top of a more subdued, but no less apt, acoustic guitar line.".[2]
