The video was directed by Quinton Cook (Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton and Dustin Lynch) and was captured during the pandemic, which created a unique opportunity and hurdle for Brandon.
“When we scheduled the shoot for Blame It on Nashville, it certainly posed challenges as we were faced with managing a video crew while doing our best to ensure social distancing and safety,” recalls Brandon. “On the other hand, because of the quarantine orders, it allowed us to film a nearly barren downtown further capturing the emptiness and downfall of the lyrics.”

Brandon debuted the single with The Boot in August and has been spotlighted in outlets like the Billboard, Country Music Chat, Digital Journal, Music Row, The Country Note, Stars and Guitars and Vents Magazine.
