Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Another Love" was first released onto YouTube on 5 November 2012 at a total length of four minutes and seven seconds. It depicts Odell sitting in an armchair in front of the camera as a girl played by actress Hanako Footman attempts to get his attention. He, however seems to notice neither her nor any of his other surroundings. As time passes, the girl begins to feel more and more annoyed and disappears from screen, seemingly leaving Odell.
