Music video

A music video directed by Shane Drake was released for the track in 2005. The video opens with Paramore playing in an abandoned warehouse. An intertwined storyline of the video is of young man who deals with the struggles of working at a fast food restaurant and trying to please his boss. A girl who is modeling is judged on what she wants to eat and what she wants to wear. All throughout the video, a pressure dial is shown and rises as the pressure builds for the two people. The man then quits his job after getting fed up with his boss and goes to the model. He signals to her to come with him but she's stuck preparing for a photoshoot. To get her out, the man sets off a fire alarm that causes the sprinklers in the building to go off. Simultaneously, sprinklers are set off on the band in the warehouse as the final chorus kicks in. The video closes with the couple escaping together and the band getting drenched in water.

As of October 2022, the music video for "Pressure" has over 48 million views on YouTube.[6]
