Music video

The music video starts off with Søren, René, Lene, and Claus walking towards the camera with the words 'How R U Doin?' appearing on-screen in-beat with the music. René and Lene are then driving white trucks throughout a dirty, post-apocalyptic environment with Søren and Claus as passengers, respectively. After doing jumps, maneuvering through explosions, and crashing into various objects, the group walks away from the trucks - away from the camera - with the words 'How R U Doin?' appearing on-screen one last time.
