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]
