Keith Urban‘s new music video for his feel-good summer hit “Never Comin Down” perfectly captures getting lost in the moment.
When creating the visuals for his latest single on his tenth studio album,Graffiti U,Urban tells PEOPLE he wanted to capture “the energy and spirit of being at a show — lost in the music, along with everyone else that’s there, whether you know them or not. That’s the feeling that I wanted to capture in the video.”

Urban’s collaborator, director Carter Smith, intentionally used the video to showcase inclusivity on the dance floor.
“In casting, we took the people that were happiest to be themselves — whatever that was. We brought in voguers, break dancers, hip-hop dancers – line dancers – everybody’s dancing together for this one song, on this one night,” Smith said.
Throughout the video, the dancers, like Urban, appear radiant and carefree.
The singer, who is currently on his62-cityGraffiti Utour, often hits the road with his wife,Nicole Kidman.

Ahead of theGraffiti Utour kickoff, Urban and his band underwent production rehearsals at an “extremely hot” Vanderbilt University basketball court for 10 days andgave PEOPLE a backstage pass.
The basketball court where they rehearsed was so sticky, the group went through 4,000 bottles of water in the week and a half they were there.
“I’m always looking for new ways to connect with the audience, new things to put in the set list and in the show — not just songs, but moments that we haven’t done before,”Urban told PEOPLE at the time.
“I can hear how some of the songs will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so exhilarating,” Urban said.
On Friday, Urban will be performing in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena this Friday.
