Music video
The music video was directed by Lieven Van Baelen and released on YouTube on 17 June 2014.[3] The setting is reminiscent of The Hunger Games.[4][5] However, it also has deep rooted connections with the 1987 film The Running Man, which shares a similar story of an audience watching a man run through a game and having to fight new armed competitors as they appear eventually gaining freedom, much like the protagonist of the music video.[citation needed]
