With the rise of this song, Mode has decided to update the music video to his song. To watch the newly updated video stream below.
The co-creator Craig Mazin talks about the reason for choosing this song for this episode. He talks about how the song Never Let Me Down is about taking a ride with your best friend. And although Joel and Ellie can be dangerous, they are best friends (who don’t know it yet) talking a ride.
According to comicbook Mazin said, “Well, Ellie’s about to take a ride with her best friend, and Joel is a dangerous man. Joel’s about to take a ride with his best friend, he doesn’t know she’s his best friend yet. She’s a dangerous little girl.”
