"Heavyweight" was Our Lady Peace's opening shot for Curve, the Canadian band's eighth studio album, arriving as its lead single on December 20, 2011, a day after a lyric video the band put together with Cut Cartel.
The proper video, directed by Christopher Mills and released in March 2012, goes for the big bang. Filmed in Bowmanville, Ontario, it takes over an abandoned house on Holt Road and shows the band members, never once playing, amid plenty of fire, before blowing the whole place up. A special effects crew, NEXUS Canada SpFX, spent a week rigging it with pyrotechnician James Sled coordinating, and the house went up at noon on January 29, 2012.
