The video was filmed by Richard Lowenstein, over a week of the band while on tour in the style of a home movie, in Mackay in North Queensland. Hutchence asked Lowenstein to come to Queensland to direct after seeing his work on the video for the Hunters & Collectors single "Talking to a Stranger". It was the first of fifteen videos that Lowenstein directed for the band. The video won Best Promotional Video at the 1984 Countdown Music and Video Awards, while the band won Best Group Performance in a Video. On 20 April 1986 they won three further Countdown awards for 1985.
