On [[April 9]], [[Karl Koch]] put out a request on the [[Weezer Fan Club]] Facebook group for video footage from hospital workers. Said Koch, "We are looking to create a video as tribute to the doctors and nurses on the front lines of COVID-19. If you or a family member or anyone you know has footage of them that could be useful as a tribute we would love to use it. Anything works, them getting ready, with their families, at work, wearing their PPE, etc. Anything will help. Thanks!" On [[April 24]], however, Koch created a new post, clarifying that the plans for the video had changed, and requested that fans simply submit a video of themselves passing a piece of folded paper from the left side of the video to the right.<br> | The music video for "Hero" was directed by Brendan Walter and Jasper Graham and released alongside the single on [[May 6]].
