## Background

Illenium said: "I got to collaborate with one of my favourite artists ever, Tom DeLonge. I feel like it has the nostalgic pop-punk vibes but also really incorporates my sound. I think the blend sounds amazing and I'm so stoked with how this one turned out!"

## Music video

Illenium told about the video: “In a post-apocalyptic world that is being threatened by an unknown enemy, the “Paper Thin” video exists as a parallel storyline to the “Nightlight” video. Our protagonists find comfort in each other and find meaning in the beautiful things not yet destroyed as they attempt to survive in this new universe.”

The video premiered on December 10, 2020.
