Love Breaks the Law in Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson’s ‘Never Say Never’ Video [Watch]
Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson have released a fiery music video to match their smoldering duet, "Never Say Never."
Filmed at the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, the video follows the forbidden love of a prison guard and an inmate. Destined to be kept apart, the guard finds ways to get her lover alone before taking a huge risk: She passes the prisoner a key and a map of the grounds.
The two flee together in the middle of the night, and they make it to the woods before their love overtakes them. Will they finally be free to live happier ever after — albeit on the run — or will fate catch up to them?
"Never Say Never" is a red-hot duet about a love that seem impossible to quit. Swindell and Wilson's push and pull trading lines on the song contributes to the back-and-forth of two lovers who are bad for each other, but just can't seem to keep their distance. It's a story both Wilson and Swindell say they have lived.
The country artists hopped on an Instagram Live to talk about the video and how eerie it felt to film inside a prison. Wilson also dishes that the video is based on a true story that actually took place where they filmed. Skip ahead to the 1:30 mark below to hear more:
