A lyric video for "You Make Me" made by Jesper Eriksson was uploaded to Avicii's VEVO YouTube account on 30 August 2013. The video depicted city scenes (from, among others, Bangkok, Bochum, Chicago and Tokyo) heavily using the miniature photography technique.[3]
The official music video, directed by Sebastian Ringler, premiered on the same channel on 16 September 2013.[4] The video is described by Vevo where "down at the skate rink a little bit of jealousy explodes into ninja battle".[5]
