The music video was filmed at New York's Connelly Theater on September 30, which was notably the day that Gavin Creel passed away. Broadway Votes co-founder Catherine Markowitz told the Los Angeles Times that his death was announced as they were entering their lunch break.

"Gavin was one of the first people who signed up for Broadway Votes when we started gathering interest in the spring, and a lot of people in our company had worked with Gavin and were close with him. We decided to dedicate the music video to him, because if he hadn't been sick, he would have been there on set with us," Markowitz shared.

The video comes just three weeks ahead of the upcoming Presidential Election. More information about Broadway Votes can be found here.
