Country star Jake Owen has shared the music video for his latest single "What We Ain't Got," which you can check out below. The highly emotional video is pretty bare bones and features Owen singing the song while the camera focuses on several people who have overcome or are overcoming some sort of adversity, including a cancer patient, a prisoner and a paraplegic.
According to The Boot, most of the people who appear in the video are not actors and are actually suffering from the afflictions they are portraying.
"I think it was just important to have real people and real scenarios in this song to help with the message of it," Owen says of the video.
One of the people who appears in the video — the first person to appear after Owen — is the song's writer Travis Meadows, who wrote the song about his own troubled life.
"Everything he went through to write this song, you can see it in his face, too," Owen says about Meadows. "He went through a lot of addiction to losing his wife and separating from her and his son."
"I don't feel like I'm acting in this song," he goes on to say. "I just feel like I'm trying to give the message and emote it in the best possible way."
