The song itself finds Hey Monday, subject of Christine Borges' recent feature about Warped Tour 2010, amid glossy production that could land this young quintet even more of a following among Top 40 enthusiasts who are already digging HM's cover of Jason DeRulo's "In My Head." Watch the video, directed by Petro Papahadjopoulos (TV on the Radio, Backstreet Boys) below.
