Music video
The music video for "Older" was released on April 18, 2019. It was directed by Nick Lieberman.

The video features Platt observing a range of people, a middle-aged woman (portrayed by Elizabeth Davis) and an elderly man, who have both experienced life and reminisce on everything they've left behind, as well as a young boy who simply wishes to grow up, ignoring the advances of his playful younger brother. After the older man wistfully receives an old photo of him and another man, Platt's character urges him to pick up the phone and call him, while the woman picks up her violin, having not touched it since losing her husband (portrayed by Brian Russell Carey). The young boy, rather than continually being annoyed with his brother, teaches him some ballet, while also indulging his desire to play with toy swords. Finally, the old man meets with his long-lost love.
