“Our video director, Will Schmidt, came to us with the idea of using Rockstar Editor in Grand Theft Auto V and we were intrigued and psyched to try it out,” said the band. “We thought it would be a cool idea to create a music video using the technology they provide and since we haven’t seen anyone else out there doing this yet, we thought it would be a great idea for the song.   We are over the moon with the results.  We think the video turned out great and hope our fans and the fans of GTA will love it too.”
