Music video

A music video for the song, directed by Poppy's former collaborator Titanic Sinclair was released on July 24, 2015. The video features cameos from Brandon Burtis, Matt Bennett, Jimmy Redhawk James and Rene Napoli. It has since amassed over 68 million views on YouTube.[3] The video shows Poppy sitting in a chair in a Baphomet-like pose, while men in full-body outfits dance around her. Some men in business suits watch Poppy's every move as she gets up to dance. Poppy sits down at a table with the Devil, who sucks on a banana as a sexual symbol, annoying Poppy so much that she gets up and walks off-set. Poppy signs some fans' pictures of her, then walks back in and shoves aside the off-screen men in suits.

An acoustic performance of the song was uploaded to Poppy's YouTube channel on September 18, 2015.[4] The video features Poppy singing in front of the men in full-body suits.

Live performances

This song was performed by Poppy at a few live shows in 2016, once on the Poppy.Computer Tour in 2018, and regularly on the Am I a Girl? Tour in 2018.[5]
