The official music video for "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," directed by Jay Martin, features Shawn Mendes and actress Ellie Bamber on a romantic, adventurous journey across European cities. The video perfectly captures a spontaneous, young love narrative, with scenes of exploration in places like Paris and Amsterdam. Intercut with concert footage, the story highlights a sense of freedom, although the inspiration came from a fictional movie character rather than real life. You can watch the official music video on YouTube and read more about it on Rolling Stone .
