Music video

The official music video of the song was released on 31 January 2017 through Robin Schulz's YouTube account. It was directed by Mario Clement and produced by Christopher Kane, and features actors Franziska Nylen and Christopher Reinhardt. The music video is about a male and female astronaut couple on a space mission, when the male crashes to a planet in his spaceship. His lover speeds to him in her spaceship, but he becomes surrounded by dark matter and warns her not to come closer. She does not heed his warning and goes to his side, causing both to be consumed by the matter.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdI0JLVhdYc&index=5&list=PLcJ8DfGqCsmw1ryEWf17gQoXcAvfm35VT|title=Robin Schulz & David Guetta ft.
