5 Seconds Of Summer And The Chainsmokers Go Up In Flames In Toasty 'Who Do You Love' Video

5 Seconds of Summer and The Chainsmokers released the sunny teamwork "Who Do You Love" in February and stood across the stage from each other on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month belting out the anthem for shady lovers. Right now, they've one-upped their competition in the recently released video for "Who Do You Love" – a vicious, snarling efficiency battle featuring fire, sparks, and lively audiences. However fire though – there is lots of that.


It begins off innocently enough. Both bands pull into a warehouse and exchange curious looks. And then the title card flashes on the screen that pits the two entities against each other. Eyes shrink to a glare as drumsticks twirl and instruments get suited up for the battle of a lifetime. This pop version of a Old-West showdown kicks off with the deafening flam of the drums and the roar of the crowds.


From the lights to the slick cinematography that tracks the movements and changing faces of the battle attendants, it's a slick, smooth video that necessitates the eye. It cranks up the intensity once the drummers get so heated that they literally combust into flames as they continue to pound the drums. They aren't even phased (save for The Chainsmokers, who look flabbergasted for a brief second) as instruments ignite and the stage does, also. Because the song grows more intense, the bands trade huge waves of sonic energy before being blown back on their butts by the colliding energies.


The Chainsmokers' World War Joy tour, which features 5SOS, kicks off in September. If you're looking for more this sort of intense battle atmosphere that grows with intensity with each note played, ensure to check it out. Hopefully no drummers catch on fire.
