Shot in Sicily, the spot captures Mika on a deserted island with only the sun to keep him company. The beautifully shot scenery transports the audience to an exotic setting where the singer floats in a boat alone on an empty sea. He is then seen dancing and exploring his way around a deserted island, leading to the introduction of fire, bright colours and sunset landscape shots towards the end of the piece.
Mill Colourist Matt Osbourne comments "There were four main looks in this promo. Each scene had it’s own particular reference including scenes from the movie 'The Talented Mr. Ripley', to Mario Testino photography. We kept the skin tones and contrast consistent to help tie everything together and then had fun with some interesting colours in the shadows of the image."
