Music video edit

The music video for "Better Days" was released on October 27, 2017, and the video was directed by Ally Pankiw. Hoggard described the premise of the video as "making a modest, very subtle, passive attempt at making people's days better". The band's guitarist, Dave Rosin, added, "We always have a good time shooting videos and then there are those shoots where, once it's edited, and you get to see it in its finished form."[2]
