Hot on the heels of Beauty Behind The Madness, the two one-minute spots kick off with the Canadian crooner coming off-stage from his performance before hopping in a John Travolta-driven limo and listening to Beats 1 Radio while checking out his own artist page on Apple Music Connect. The piece then goes on to showcase an afterparty — complete with “The Hills” blasting from the stereo — before finishing with the tagline “It’s all in your head. Create your own party.
