"No Fear" is a song by the Finnish alternative rock band The Rasmus, originally released on the band's sixth studio album Hide from the Sun on September 2, 2005. The single was the first (and most successful) to be released from the album.
Following its release on August 29 2005, the single achieved some chart success across Europe, as well as topping the Israeli singles chart. The music video also reached No. 1 on MTV Europe's Nordic chart list "UpNorth".
The music video for "No Fear" was directed by Jörn Heitmann in Berlin, Germany the same year. Jörn Heitmann has also directed many of Rammstein's videos.
The video depicts a girl with an apparent obsession with butterflies. She follows them out of her bedroom and sleepwalks across roofs, and through streets. The girl eventually comes to a roof of glass panes and falls through them into the building. It is unclear whether the girl has died or not, and she appears to end up in a garden with a bed situated in the middle, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. While she is sleepwalking, a swarm of butterflies become animated from pictures behind where the band are performing, and other places around the building.
