Florida Georgia Line released the music Video for the passion-fueled "Stay," the fourth single from the ACM award-winning duo's debut studio album, "Here's to the Good Times." Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard delves into more serious and somber topics in "Stay," which revolves around a breakup, where the woman has walked out and the guy is left pleading with her to come back. Appropriately, the clip takes things a few steps further by adding a new level of drama–and darkness–to the situation and showcases those feelings, and the duo shows their angst in this newest offering.
Shot outside of Nashville, the video features vivid imagery of a couple whose fiery emotions reach a boiling point, causing each to struggle with their next move in the relationship. Director Peter Zavadil reinforces the raw scenes with flashes of country rock duo performing the powerful song. It kicks off in a trailer park, with a woman looking sadly sitting desolate and dazed amidst charred remains of what was once burned-out trailer. Her dog paws through the rubble, eventually sniffs out a burnt cellphone and brings it to her mouth. Her shoulders drop, and she flashes back to right before the fire.
Apparently, her boyfriend lived in that trailer. And right before the fire, she decided to leave him, packing up in her car with her dog in the front seat, as her former love stood helplessly at the door. The band is interspersed throughout the footage, singing this dark, sad song as the story unfolds, but they aren't the main focus. The storyline is the star in this video. Throughout the "Stay" video, the girl's phone flashes with text messages from her boyfriend pleading, "I guess I know what it feels like to be alone... I need you just to carry on." But when those text messages aren't acknowledged with a response, the video takes a dark turn and it looks like the boyfriend is going nuts without her.
He has a crazed, desperate look in his eyes, and it's clear he's planning something - something bad. After throwing chairs, lamps, his television and other household items out onto the lawn, he texts her again: "I can't go another day without you." The girl, on the other hand, buys a ticket to go anywhere but there, and soon lands at a hotel, exhausted and emotional. She stares at her phone and in the meantime, he lights a match. But it's not for a simple front yard campfire. He intends to burn all of his items and succeeds, adding his phone and a photo of the happy couple to the flames. Although she returns to his home right as the fire trucks arrive, it's a little too late.
