Music video

The music video was directed by Lieven Van Baelen and released on YouTube on 17 June 2014. Stromae takes on the role of the ring announcer as a man is selected among the spectator crowd to run through and escape a raised obstacle course reminiscent of both The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. However, it also has deep rooted connections with the 1987 film The Running Man, which shares a similar story of an audience watching a man run through a game and having to fight new armed competitors as they appear eventually gaining freedom, much like the protagonist of the music video.
