The music video for "Backslide" was uploaded to YouTube on the day of release. It is directed by Josh Dun, the drummer of the duo, in his directorial debut. The video features Tyler Joseph purchasing hamburger buns from a convenience store before rapping and singing while riding a bicycle down a suburban street.
