Directed by Paul Hunter, the video was released the same day as the song and album. The clip sees Timberlake making a journey across a rugged landscape. During most of the video, Timberlake is looking straight into the camera, as it is filmed from his wife Jessica Biel's perspective until the singer encounters her.[2] Eventually, he enters a log cabin, wherein he shares a ballroom dance with Biel.[3] As described by a The Hollywood Reporter editor, the video "leans into the folky, campfire imagery of the album's title."[4]
