Gave It All Away Music Video:
As the video unfolds, we are taken right back to the song’s origins – to the night the song came to life in a hotel room on the other side of the world. “I remember feeling the exhaustion starting to set in, after being on the road by myself in the UK for quite some time,” Louis reminisces. “The video depicts what actually happened, although the room wasn’t as nice. I got back to my motel room after a show and wrote the song in 15 minutes, it came pouring out of me because I meant every word.”
“The song is about not giving up on your dreams. It’s about never giving in. It’s about the resolve and determination one must have in order to make these dreams become reality.”
