Music video

The "These Days" music video begins with a dark opening sequence, featuring Katie Underwood in a gloomy hotel, washing her face in the bathroom. It then crosses to the five girls on a sunny beach with friends. The second verse features Belinda Chapple singing on the hotel balcony while the middle 8 features Sally in the bedroom. The clip ends with the five girls with a group of friends surrounding a fire on the beach during the night.
