NME.com reports on the song: "The clip itself kicks off with shots of a girl in an electric red wig and matching dress, skipping out of a red house, with a bottle of Coke in her hand. "

"She shares the drink with a white tracksuited man. He then passes on the beverage to a little boy who then passes it on to a hobo. Each person mentioned appears in multiple"
