Music video

The music video was released on June 22, 2018.{{Citation |title=OneRepublic - Start Again ft. Logic (Official Music Video) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-2VKeDBPkw&list=RDNym5stAJAt8&index=2 |access-date=2023-06-28 |language=en}} The video starts with a man wearing a gas mask. It works as a warning, as a reflection of near reality in its profound crisis. It reflects the possible outcome of manmade destruction of the Earth by going to war. Nevertheless, in the last scene, it is revealed that the man was imagining all the destruction in his mind. At the very end, the man saw the television showing the consequences of global warming.
