It can be easy to neglect yourself while spending energy fighting to win love from other people.”He continued: “If you really care for yourself you realise you don’t need anyone else to be happy, and quite often when you stop looking for what you want the universe gives you exactly what you need.”Directed by Ruth Hunduma, the track’s accompanying music video features Carter singing the track against a sunset lit backdrop while Dean Richardson plays guitar.

Other shots in the video feature the duo singing and playing the track in a red room with flashing lights.Following the release of ‘Dark Rainbow’, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes will head out on their biggest tour to date.
