Music video

The music video was filmed in London and features Liam drifting by a graffiti-covered underpass and gazing out at the Palace of Westminster. One scene features Liam staring at a wall with the words "We Stand United With Manchester" on it (acting as a tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing). At sunset, he navigates the song's titular district, past busy restaurants and supermarkets, as the music video's director, Charlie Lightening zooms around with his camera.[1]

The music video was directed by Charlie Lightening and produced by Daniel Lightening. The music video currently has over 4 million views on YouTube.[2][3]
