The Oscar-winning actress and singer told MTV that the concept for the video, released Wednesday off her "JHUD" album, was inspired by the invaluable support she had from the gay community growing up and the LGBT fans who have been her "biggest support system."
"I grew up surrounded and supported by the gay community and I just want to make sure I show them the same support and this is my way of doing it," she said. "This is the perfect way to show my support through my music and just be there to support because again the gay community has always been my biggest support system it's just me showing the love back."
In the video, a gay couple prepares for their wedding day as one of the men's fathers grapples with attending up until the eleventh hour. The estranged parent eventually gets into his truck and starts driving, making it just in time to see his son marry.

The video was produced in partnership with W Hotel's marriage equality campaign, Turn It Up For Change, to promote the message of love and acceptance for the LGBT people in everyone's lives.
