Fun.'s 'Why Am I The One' Video: Go Behind The Scenes Now!

Over the past year, Fun. have been put through the wringer with each music video they've shot: On "We Are Young," they were nearly be headed by flying palm trees. For "Some Nights," they went to war on a frigid battlefield. And with "Carry On," well, they basically weren't allowed to sleep.

So when it came time to film the clip for "Why Am I the One," they decided to try something different — namely, make a video where they didn't suffer egregious harm. And, as it turns out, that was easier than expected — mostly because they're hardly in the thing.

"We're following the path of a lost piece of luggage," multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost explained. "So, this time, we're not really the star."

On The Set Of: Fun.'s 'Why Am I The One'

And we can certainly vouch for that claim. Because when MTV News was on the "One" set in Seattle, we saw the luggage get plenty of camera time — while the guys in Fun. mainly stood on the sidelines. But, really, that was the point. After all, they've had a whirlwind year; and lost luggage is just one of the things they've had to deal with on their rather remarkable rise to stardom.

"I think there's a lot of metaphors in [the video] that you could draw with us and the past year we've had, but it's a video that I hope will make people feel very different the next time they go to the airport and give their bag away," guitarist Jack Antonoff said. "It's a very serious video that, on paper, might seem a little tongue in cheek, but at least the way it's written, it's meant to be pretty deep.

"And I think that's OK, it's exciting and it's valuable for the fans of the music to know that, that it's not just this giant dream sequence," he continued. "There's a level of sacrifice that makes it worth it even more;so, to me, there's a romanticism to it, when you look at the dark side."

That goes for the song, too: Even though frontman Nate Ruess wrote it more than a year ago, lately he's found that its sentiments still hold true. In fact, if anything, they've taken on even more meaning.

"The song is about constantly being on the move; and that is something that we've been for the last ten years, but more so this year than any," Ruess said. "For example, right now, I live nowhere. I don't have an apartment, I don't have anything. [In the past], I moved from Phoenix to New York, and now I'm moving from New York to who knows where? But it's all I've known, so I'm used to it."
