The music video for the song premiered on 9 December 2019; it was directed by Karena Evans and shot in three countries: South Africa, Morocco and Ukraine for ubuntu on South African broadcaster Soweto TV. Ubuntu is the Xhosa language and a voice explains: "It means humanity, because we will always need the next, one hand washes the other. "Ubuntu" is helping others, your brothers and sisters, even if you don't know them."

Critical reception

Rob Arcand of Spin magazine called the song a return to form, stating that "[i]t's a heartfelt return to the kind of lush balladry that the band built their reputation on, with gorgeous production and performance elements lending weight to the kind of broad, arena-rock universalisms present in the lyrics."[6]
