The Workday Release have us feeling a little sappy this week as we vicariously live out our romance movie fantasies through their new music video “I Do.”

Released this past Friday as the latest single off of their upcoming album Like The Light of Stars (April 16), “I Do” is an ode to putting in the work to making a relationship work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

Inspired by the group’s sole member David Ottestad’s own relationship with his wife, the song uses soft acoustic strumming and relaxed vocals to remind listeners that love isn’t always easy but it is always worth it.

And if that wasn’t enough to have you lost in your feelings, Ottestad also has released a new music video starring none other than himself and his wife. 

Showcasing the couple rediscovering their wedding day attire while cleaning out a house, they then decide to throw on their white dress and black tux for a day of fun activities- including browsing record shops, grabbing coffee and overall just enjoying each other’s company. 

“For the video, I wanted to portray the idea that ‘I do’ isn’t just something you say on your wedding day- it’s something you say every day,” the singer shared with Buzzbands.La. “I thought an interesting way to show this was to have the video take place in a time of life transition, and in this case, going through the process of moving. I decided to shoot the video with my wife and show us getting back into our wedding dress and suit years after initially saying ‘I do’ as a symbol of wearing that phrase during changing circumstances.”

“It also gave us a chance to feature some of our favorite local businesses in downtown Fullerton, where we live. Especially during the pandemic, being able to make a video that serves as an encouragement to the viewers to #shopsmall was really important to me. We made a purchase at each store we filmed at and had so much fun visiting each spot in our wedding attire.”

You can stream “I Do,” out now and stay tuned for The Workday Release’s upcoming album The Light of Stars out April 16.
