Released on , and directed by Ryan Rundle , the music video for "Bad Dream" is a pitch-perfect homage to 80s slasher films and neon-soaked thrillers. It features a surreal, campy narrative where vocalist Michelle Joy is held captive by a mysterious figure (played by Adam Brooks), while bandmates Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis play the detectives racing to her rescue.
While the video leans into horror tropes, the song itself is an exploration of heartbreak and missed opportunities. The lyrics describe the pain of watching someone you love move on—"Now you're somebody's baby / So I'll be on my way"—and the feeling of being trapped in a "sad scene" you can't wake up from.
