JP Cooper (John Paul Cooper) Quotes
We tried to create something that had a bit of odd/off-kilter humour in it, again I wanted to have fun with it, I wanted it to be something that made people smile, that was kind of sweet and still suited the song. It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had making a music video and I’m really happy with it.
