Music video
A music video was released on YouTube on 7 June 2012.[6] The music video shows a person, presumably a trans woman, before and after undergoing gender-affirming surgery, and how the surgery improves their social life. An alternate version just featuring Avicii performing at various venues in the United States has also been produced.
