OK Go's "Love" music video used Nyugati Train Station (Nyugati Pályaudvar), one of the oldest and most iconic railway stations in Budapest, Hungary, as its setting. It was filmed in a single take using 26 robotic arms and 60 mirrors to create kaleidoscopic visual effects. The coordination involved 60 people and required 39 takes to achieve the final version.

In "Love," the band transforms this historic space into a kinetic art stage. This station was designed by Eiffel's company (the same company that built the Eiffel Tower) and opened in 1877. Its iron and glass architecture creates a nostalgic and monumental atmosphere, which the music video cleverly exploits.

The robotic arms, provided by Universal Robots, were programmed to move the mirrors with millimeter precision, creating real-time reflection patterns that amplify the desired sense of infinity. According to vocalist Damian Kulash, the goal was to amplify the sense of expanding reality, allowing the viewer to access new emotional dimensions.

"Love" is from the album And the Adjacent Possible, OK Go's first release in over a decade. The album has been praised for its sonic and emotional exploration, and this music video in particular has been singled out, once again, as a striking visual representation of its core themes.

Lyrics:

Light cast so long before sound, before song
falls on your eyes and the dance starts again

And in this grand ballroom of nothingness
your hand so warm with somethingness
we whirl and twirl and music’s invented again 
In this grand ballroom of nothingness
we soar, we sail to the only song there’s ever been: Love
The only song there’s ever been’s just begun: Love
The only song there’s ever been plays again: Love
It’s love

How marvelous just to be anything,
circling the hall to divine harmony

And in this grand ballroom of nothingness
your hand so warm with somethingness
we swirl, unfurl, and music’s invented again 
In this grand ballroom of nothingness
we soar, we sail to the only song there’s ever been: Love
The only song there’s ever been’s just begun: Love
The only song there’s ever been plays again: Love
The only song there’s ever been never ends: Love

And against such staggering odds of anything at all
that lonely poet Chance called the dance and built the hall 
and, with such modest hands, drew up plans and gave us all

Love
