The music video stars all members of Clean Bandit along with Demi Lovato. It follows Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto and a 'lover' as they argue. As the arguments become violent Grace grabs her longboard and skates into town where she ends up at a laundrette. Hidden behind the washing machines in a office Grace pays an attendant for some strange concoction!

The video then follows a longboarder who shows off some pretty impressive moves as she skates along a road to get this strange medicine which is being made for her.

WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE

Like the video for 'Solo', last year, Clean Bandit released another emotional video. We caught up with Grace who told us about the music video for their single 'Symphony' which was brought to life with the actors.

Watch the full interview with Grace Chatto below...

Speaking to Grace, we also found out that Clean Bandit would also love to work with Sam Smith and Lana Del Rey. Grace explained, "We've got a few people already on songs because we're just finishing our album now, we've already got some amazing collaborations. I can't really say who! One of them is like an idol for me from when I was little.

"She's amazing, I can't believe it. I can't imagine telling myself that when I was about 10-years-old!

"I would say our dream collaboration is Sean Paul, but we've worked with him now! Lana Del Rey for me would be a dream collab. Sam Smith would also be a dream collab."
