The music video uses conventions of rock music videos such as showing the artist playing their instrument at the beginning and throughout. Shots include close-ups of the artist singing and playing guitar, as well as mid-shots and long shots. While focusing on performance, some narrative elements are also included, such as a wide establishing shot of the location. The genre is identified as soft rock or indie through the representation of the artist and guitar as well as the simplicity of the video compared to pop videos. The target audience is identified as young people who enjoy similar indie artists. Ancillary products like the digipak also feature the guitar to represent the genre.
