Stereo Hearts

GCH drymmer Matt McGinley explained the video to MTV News: "The video basically plays on the idea that we're sort of just being casual, hanging out, being ourselves and our shadows get wild and get loose. It's kind of fun. I've always felt like my shadow has been trying to kill me for 28 years." (Source Stereo Hearts Songfacts)
