The video stars Tuohy alongside Nicky Whelan and was released as a feature music video on Yahoo!

Origins
Not wanting to forget the idea of the song, along with the lyrics “Let yourself be loved,”
Stamos says the song focuses on “being blocked and not letting people in,” while for Tuohy, the song tells a more specific story about a broken yet beautiful relationship. In Tuohy’s words, “when it was good it was really good, but when it was bad it was really, really bad.” The day Diamond Carter recorded “Let Yourself be Loved” for Pink Balloon was the day the relationship ended. The climactic event was so impactful for Tuohy as an artist, the music video for the song was shot in the same studio the breakup occurred, mirroring the events that took place that day. For Tuohy, the song shows evidence of misconstrued bliss that seems relevant at the beginning of a relationship, but loses dignity once intimacy is the only thing left to supersede solidarity.
