British boy band The Wanted take a very grown up approach to their latest video, "Show Me Love (America)" directed by Frank Borin. The video finds the members of the band, accompanied by an orchestra, performing while wearing suits and looking dapper in an empty theater. The performance portions are cut between a narrative that features a woman painfully walking away from a troubled relationship. The members of the band appear in the narrative portions as well, as characters that she passes on the street. Rather than using classic boy band tropes like choreography and bright colors, the video is in black and white, and focuses on the emotion of the lyrics and the narrative to keep our attention. The look and subject matter of the video and song is not what we’re used to getting from a boy band, but The Wanted guys pull it off well thanks to the help of Frank Borin, who also directed their "We Own The Night" video form earlier this year.

"Show Me Love (America)" was produced by Angela Gregory for London Alley Entertianment and can be found on the upcoming album Word Of Mouth.
