I Was Pretty Pissed Off. I Am Pretty Pissed Off. God Bless.'"

The music video has an epilepsy warning before the video, and features some flashing images. The music video is reminiscent of Marilyn Manson’s style and early ‘90’s music videos. It’s not visually scary but talks about the political and ecological issues in society.
In an interview with ‘NME’, ‘Matty’ said:
"'I wrote ‘People’ on my tour bus in Texas on the day the abortion bill was circulating in Alabama. After playing our show there in Alabama, we were advised to leave quickly due to Alabama being an Open Carry state [ie, one where citizens may carry guns in public]. So we did, and we soon stopped in a truck stop in Texas.
