Synopsis

Just Jack delivers a restrained performance while the video follows a man being pulled into the artificial world of celebrity. Scenes of partying, intoxication, glamorous company, VIP treatment and intense public attention show his growing distance from ordinary life. The visual style becomes increasingly disorienting as fame, excess and paranoia take over. Against the track's upbeat disco-funk groove, the video presents stardom as a seductive but damaging fantasy, questioning why people allow the media and celebrity culture to put "starz in their eyes."
