Big Sean is more reflective than usual on his new album I Decided, and the conceptual video for single "Halfway Off The Balcony" shows it.

The music video features the same darkly colorful images from the cover art of I Decided, with the current Sean and an older version of him being shown in mirroring environments. It illustrates Sean's idea for the album, which he spoke about on The Tonight Show in recent weeks.

“The story of the album is: imagine you went through life and you made all the wrong decisions your whole life," Sean explained to Jimmy Fallon. "You get to the end of your life and you’re at a moment where it’s like, ‘God, I did everything wrong. I didn’t work it out with the love of my life. I messed it up with my parents. I’m not doing the job I was sent here to do on earth.’

“Imagine something happens, and you get one chance to redo it all,” he continued. “The album is a chance of having that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, then going through life and figuring it out.”
