Release

Music video
A music video was released in many European territories. The video features Blunt and Pausini together in an Italian mansion, however, both are locked in separate, empty rooms with only their instruments to keep them company. As the song progresses, Blunt starts a fire in his room which spreads to the main hall of the building, leading to him having to rescue Pausini. The video was included on the deluxe edition bonus DVD of Blunt's All the Lost Souls.
