Music video

The official video for the song premiered on November 29, 2012 and has received rotation on Disney Channel, TeenNick, and MTV. The video shows several high school kids who are not 'normal', in this sense being a Goth girl who self harms, a boy who dances ballet, a bulimic, a girl who likes to skateboard, and a young man who is deemed too short to play basketball. They are all drawn to a gold light and drop into a world with several other kids, where they go to a mansion and find their people.

The music video is intercut with Nicole holding balloons in a hedge maze.
