The video shows Dominic standing near places that reflect his life growing up in Florida from playing with his friends, his family and their dysfunction, his run-ins with local law enforcements due to his rowdy behavior, and people he knew. He reflects the lyrics with each moment in the video by standing in that corresponding area. At one point, inside a pool he wears a big metal “Smile” text on his belt.
