It’s the first of four single releases this year from Thanks Brother culminating in an EP this winter. The video for the song is shot by the duo on their iPhones when they were crashing a Christmas party in December.

“It was a spur of the moment decision to film it while we were at The Google Christmas Party in the RDS… which we weren’t really supposed to be at… but it all sort of fit in with the imagery of the song: doing shit you’re not supposed to when you’re drunk.”
