Meath and Sanborn tapped Cheryl Dunn to direct and film the “Rooftop Dancing” video, which captures the scene in Dunn’s hometown of New York City. “‘Rooftop Dancing’ is about the excitement of being part of a collective humming whole – a city that contains multitudes – with your small story shining softly amidst it,” reads a note from Sylvan Esso. “Cheryl Dunn was a natural first choice to make the video since she has been so brilliantly capturing the spirit of NYC for years. We are so grateful to her for collaborating with us and giving us a beautiful slice of what the city feels like today.”
