<h2>People Exclusive: Brett Eldredge Premieres &#8216;Drunk on Your Love&#8217; Video – and Jokes Arresting His Brother Was His Favorite Part</h2>
<p>(NEW YORK) – After restraining himself in a straitjacket for his previous video, <a title="Brett Eldredge" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/brett-eldredge-tour-dates/">Brett Eldredge</a> was looking for a little more freedom when it came time to shoot the clip for his next single.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had that crazy idea for &#8216;Lose My Mind,&#8217; not realizing I painted myself into the corner of having to actually wear the straitjacket for the whole shoot,&#8221; the singer-songwriter tells PEOPLE with a laugh. &#8220;I wanted to do something different for &#8216;Drunk on Your Love&#8217; – it&#8217;s a lighthearted, fun, feel good song and I wanted the video to reflect that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Directed by Joel Robertson and shot in Charleston, South Carolina, the clip takes its inspiration from the 1996 film Multiplicity, in which Michael Keaton&#8217;s character is cloned until the duplications eventually overwhelm him.</p>
<p>&#8220;We came up with the idea of multiple versions of me competing against myself for the attention of this beautiful, sweet, girl,&#8221; Eldredge, 29, explains. Playing a florist, a cop, a chef, a musician and a taxi driver, the shoot required &#8220;a lot of different locations and wardrobe changes.&#8221; So which setup was his favorite? The one that featured a cameo from his older brother, Brice.</p>
<p>&#8220;I loved being the cop and arresting my brother. They told Brice, &#8216;Act like you&#8217;re resisting&#8217; so I got to rough him up a little bit too and give him some jabs back,&#8221; he jokes. &;q uot;I had to cuff him – I tried to act like I was legitimately arresting somebody, but I could not figure out the handcuffs to save my life. We were all laughing – that was my favorite, being Officer Brett for a minute.&#8221;</p>
<p>While staging scenes for the video the day prior to the shoot, Eldredge took his florist persona to heart.</p>
<p>&#8220;I started walking down the street in Charleston and thought, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to see how many people will take a flower if I pass them out.&#8217; We had a ca mera crew with us and they caught up and followed me. I would say 95 percent of people loved getting a flower, whether they knew me or not,&#8221; he tells PEOPLE. &#8220;It was just crazy to see the reactions on people&#8217;s faces – a little thing to make their day better or make them smile. I&#8217;m trying to figure out ways to spread the love a bit more this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not everyone was impressed, though. &#8220;One girl was on her cellphone and didn&#8217;t have time to take a flower. Maybe one day I&#8217;ll find her again,&#8221; jokes Eldredge.</p>
<p>When he&#8217;s not busying himself with bouquets, the musician is preparing to hit the road again in support of his sophomore album, Illinois. A European leg this spring will be followed by another summer tour with <a title="Keith Urban" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSKUrban/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkeith-urban-tickets%2F">Keith Urban</a>, and Eldredge is looking forward to both.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been to Europe – it&#8217;s all brand-new to me. I always hoped one day I would have the chance to see the world as part of my music. When I was growing up in Paris, Illinois, I never thought people would be buying tickets to my show in Dublin or I&#8217;d be playing in London,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And then Keith asking me to tour with him again … he really took me under his wing and believed in me. It&#8217;s thanks to people like Keith who helped me get here. If you told me 10 years ago that I&#8217;d be playing with this guy and able to call him an actual friend, I wouldn&#8217;t have believed it. He&#8217;s so down-to-earth you forget that he&#8217;s this icon. I&#8217;m so grateful.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to its PEOPLE.com premiere, &#8220;Drunk on Your Love&#8221; will make its television debut Friday morning on CMT.</p>
