Synopsis

INXS perform "Don't Lose Your Head" inside a cavernous aircraft hangar, using the stark industrial setting to emphasize the song's aggressive, confrontational energy. The band members appear in tightly framed performance shots, with Michael Hutchence commanding the center of the action. Intercut throughout are clips from the 1997 action thriller "Face/Off," linking the video directly to the film's promotional campaign and giving the otherwise stripped-down performance piece a cinematic edge.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was created as a promotional tie-in for "Face/Off," in which the song is heard on Castor Troy's car radio.
  • INXS were touring South Africa when the film's producers asked them to make the video. The shoot was organized quickly and took place inside a large aircraft hangar at an airstrip in Cape Town.
  • "Don't Lose Your Head" was released as the third single from the 1997 album "Elegantly Wasted." It was issued in selected European and Japanese markets, while the United States received it mainly as a promotional release connected to "Face/Off."
  • The video combines newly filmed band footage with scenes from the movie rather than presenting a separate narrative. This approach reflects the song's role as a film marketing track as much as a conventional INXS single.
