Critical reception
Music video
The music video was directed by Ben Tricklebank and is based on the idea that the band are like three caged birds. They are longing to escape but individually are not certain if they can still fly. Only once they are together are they able to take flight again.
Tricklebank stated: "Universal sent out a really interesting brief that was centered around a technique of connecting moments through windows within each scene."[5]
Chart performance
"Windows" entered the UK Singles Downloads Chart at number three on 29 September 2023.[6]
