Your Friday night is going to look extremely tame after you see what You Me At Six get up to.

You Me At Six have unveiled an entertaining video for their latest single 3AM, taken from their forthcoming new album VI, out in October.

The bouncy track has received a dizzying makeover, with plenty of colour, charisma, and spirit. Following frontman Josh Franceschi, you’re first shown a fun night out in Act 1: Expectation, which is what Josh thinks happened, but reality comes crashing down in the Act 2: Reality when you’re shown the less-glamorous truth of the happenings of the night. Act 3: The Peak is a continuation of the hilarious reality, and a choreographed dance routine is definitely one of the highlights of this bizarre video.

Speaking of the inspiration behind the video, Franceschi comments:

The idea came from watching Wolf Of Wall Street. In the film there is a scene where the main protagonist (Leonardo DiCaprio) has a split reality when under the influence of what he believes to be true and what is actually true. That just resonated with us. I worked quite closely with Dan Broadley (Director) as I found myself doing a lot of ‘acting’ in this video. It was new, and a challenge, but he gave me the confidence to embrace it and also have the freedom to go off script.

Director Dan Bradley adds on:

I remember really early on in the process, we had this unhinged creative conversation about what we all wanted this video to be and how we wanted to push the boundaries of what people expected of You Me At Six. I recalled this amazing scene in The Wolf Of Wall Street where it shows Leo making it back home in his Lamborghini whilst totally off his head on drugs, however it later reveals what really happened… and the journey didn’t go as well as he remembered. I loved that idea and wanted to adapt it to a ‘night out’ scenario where Josh plays this bouncy alter-ego of himself. I think a highlight was persuading the guys to learn a full dance routine to perform at the climax of the song…
