Last month, Imagine Dragons surfed the web in the hilariously absurd lyric video for "Zero," and on Tuesday (October 23) the band brought those same characters to the arcade. The two cyber atmospheres are fitting considering the new single was penned for Ralph Breaks the Internet — a movie about what happens when old school video game characters infiltrate the web.
In the official video, the band stars as employees and gamers at an '80s style arcade, with each member wearing the same outfit he did in the lyrics video. Singer Dan Reynolds, however, makes a small (er, big) change to his character, who has an oversized, Pacman-esque head.
Watch the entertaining, cartoonish video for "Zero" below.
Though the visuals are bound to make you laugh out loud, the song's lyrics are a little more poignant. Reynolds says "Zero" is about “that journey of feeling like nothing and trying to realize and recognize your worth as a human." Adding, “Given the distorted version of reality kids face online and the expectations that come with it, this struggle is real for so many people right now.”
Aside from appearing in Ralph Breaks the Internet, which hits theaters on November 21st, "Zero" will also be featured on the band's upcoming album, Origins. The album is slated for a November 9th release date and is the sister album to 2017's Evolve.
