4. Music Video Summary
A music video for the song, directed by Ryan Reichenfeld, released on October 29, 2013.
The video was written by Timberlake and director by Ryan Reichenfeld, and it splices
scenes from a cushy loft where Timberlake and Keough engage in numerous adult
activities and a not too distant future where the singer is roped behind a moving truck
driven on a dusty road by his lady.
In another scene, Keough delivers a cast-iron skillet to Timberlake's cranium. Through it
all, Timberlake keeps his chin up and continues to sing even while being dragged to his
death.
