The official music video for the song, lasting three minutes and forty-three seconds, was uploaded on December 5, 2014, to McMahon's Vevo channel on YouTube. It was directed by Olivier Agostini.[2] The video depicts Cecilia as a baby being shown a book by her father intercut with scenes showing a young woman, presumably Cecilia, walking and swimming in the locations depicted in the book. It is implied that the latter scenes are being imagined by the infant Cecilia.
