Accolades

"Unsteady" was nominated for Top Rock Song at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.[5]

Music video

Influenced by the song’s theme of divorce, the music video follows a couple at two points in their relationship: the moment they fell in love, and the moment they knew their relationship was over. Throughout the song you see how habits that may have been “fun and spontaneous” when young can turn into serious problems when they begin to affect an adult family life where children can be influenced by those choices.

The video was directed by ENDS (Zack Sekuler, Daniel Iglesias Jr.)
