This music video was directed by Wan-Lin Chuang, a music video director from Tainan City, Taiwan.

This adorable short film with a twist ending was directed by Iván Ruiz Flores of Madrid, Spain.

This music video was directed by Clare Conway, an emerging artist, writer, and director from Melbourne, Australia. She provided the following statement about the video.

This music video was born through the inspiration Wren handed me with this track ‘Soldiers’. Having a strong, epic, cinematic feel, I knew I could go as big as I wanted (and include some slow motion galloping in amour!). For me it was important to show the range of emotions communicated through the lyrics, but ultimately reveal a strong and powerful individual moving forward – and fighting for this. Jess’s (Wren) performance encapsulated this through and through.
