Music video

The music video for "Restless" was filmed in Adelaide and directed and produced by Rory Pippan and released on 25 June 2019.[2] Allday said "I went back to Adelaide (my hometown) to shoot all the videos for this album and I wanted to capture the desolation and boredom of the place. Growing up in a boring place was fantastic for me because it sparked my imagination; where I'm from is really important to me. We used that as inspiration, and exaggerated a lot of the light and dark aspects of the place for this video."[3]

Reception

Thomas Bleach from The Music Network described the collaboration as "a match made in heaven" and "a soothing pop song full of sweet harmonies". Bleach said: "The two Aussie acts were able to draw from their unique sounds and fuse together a slick vibe that audiences will instantly fall in love with."[4]

Mike Wass from Idolator described the song as "one of [his] favorite songs of the year" saying "'Restless' is an unusually honest breakup anthem with enough hooks to fill a hardware store."[5]
