Liam was helped by a friend who filmed him singing on his balcony in London.
Whilst producer Alesso went into his Los Angeles studio to shoot clips.
Liam said: “It was nice just to make a video with a lot less noise around it — music videos are always so busy.
“For me personally, just to be able to go outside my house, perform a song on the balcony and just sing it the way I wanted to perform it rather than have people telling me how to move or what to do, or anything like that. It was very much our video and I’m proud of that."

Alesso said: “That’s really how we do it, you know? And kind of let the song have the shine. For me, it was refreshing.”
Midnight is a relationship song about coming together.
In it, Liam sings: “Always thought I was losing the race.
“Looking for love in all the wrong places.
“Really don't know how we made it here.
“Never thought I was worth what you give.
“Never felt quite alive, now I'm living.
“Yeah, you kill my doubts, they disappeared.”

And Alesso says since the outbreak of Covid-19 it has taken on a different meaning.
He said: “It definitely gives it a bigger meaning. We’re always going to listen to this song, at least me and Liam, and think about these times,” Alesso said. “I think it definitely gives it a special feeling to it.”
Liam added: “We’re all learning new things about our spouses and spending so much time together with them, people overcoming such massive things in the world together. I think that definitely lends a hand toward the song as well and how you overcome these sorts of things.”
