Following the success of their first single "Glad You Came," the British boyband The Wanted have premiered their new vampire video for their second official U.S. single, "Chasing the Sun," off their debut self-titled U.S. EP. The group eventually find themselves at some kind of makeout party, and things are going swimmingly. "Chasing The Sun" takes on a whole new meaning once The Wanted's night is over.This club banger was wrote by British rapper and singer Example, who admitted that he originally wrote it for Australian Dance-Pop singer Kylie Minogue, before deciding the tune would suit The Wanted more. "Our song 'Chasing the Sun' is basically about the party that keeps on going," Jay McGuiness said, with pal Max George giving a bit more insight into how that will manifest in the clip: "There's certain shots which we've just done now which are on a rooftop, and then we're filming all night until 6 in the morning, and then the last shot, I think, will be us just kind of walking away looking rather disheveled," George explained.
The Director X-shot video is full flirtatious scenes with leggy models and late-night rooftop scenes with the fellas. In the clip, the fivesome travel the streets of Los Angeles in the middle of the night, and turns out their '90s-looking sunburst tattoos grant them access to an exclusive sunburst party, where the guys meeting up with a mysterious group of the ladies from the club, who leave the chaps with curious tattoos in the shape of a sunburst clinging to each of the boys, who curiously share the same sun-inspired markings on their body.
These scenes are also intercut with shots of the band dudes on a rooftop at dawn singing the chorus of the track, it seems as if the group is literally chasing the sun, in an attempt to keep the late-night party going as long as possible before it rises! Things an unnecessary supernatural turn when we find out these girls are actually blood-sucking vampires. The boys get bitten, but no worries The Wanted fans, they head into the morning sunlight which means they're fine, right?
