Speaking to his fans the North Shields singer said: "I had no doubt Philip Barantini was the right director for this one, it was so great to work with him again. His video for Spit of You will always be my favourite.

"He asked Owen Cooper if he’d like to be in the video and I was elated when he said yes — his performance in Adolescence was incredible.

"Big love to the entire cast and team, they've created something beautiful. X".

Barantini - who previously directed Fender's Spit Of You video co-starring Stephen Graham - said: “To have the opportunity to direct another video for Sam was an immediate yes – an absolute no-brainer for me! Not only is Sam an incredible artist but he’s a beautiful human and a great friend! Also, the opportunity to direct Owen again so soon after Adolescence was an absolute joy!”
