Music video
The music video, filmed in New York City and directed by James Lees,[1] first aired on Channel 4 on 26 June 2010. It features actress Emma Watson.[2] George Craig originally became friends with Watson after they both featured in a Burberry modelling campaign.[3] The music video was filmed over two days. It depicts the band performing in Brooklyn with the Manhattan skyline in the background, intercut with a subplot in which George Craiq leaves the group to pursue Emma Watson through the streets of New York. In the final scene, moments before Craiq and Watson kiss, a woman exits a car, approaches two dogs, and takes one away. This act symbolizes that Craiq and Watson were metaphorically portrayed as dogs, clarifying earlier scenes such as Craiq being chased from a store or licking Watson after receiving a thrown pretzel from the Gray's Papaya hot dog stand.[4] According to Emma Watson the video is an Ode to Lady and the Tramp.[5]
