Billie-Jo Porter has revealed the music video for her single, Eyes Wide Open, premiering today via the music. 

The track is an upbeat, beach-inspired anthem, a reflection on the unexpected directions that life can take you.

Its accompanying music video perfectly reflects this, with Porter stating, "I serendipitously met Tia, a local surfer in the area who is famous for longboarding. She was interested in featuring my song Eyes Wide Open in her surfing videos on Instagram. I was thrilled as I love surfing and follow her on social media.

"We met up at our local beach at sunrise to surf during one of the filming sessions by Gary. It was amazing for Kyle and I to be in the water to watch the surfing and catch a few waves ourselves.

"The house we shot the rest of the clip in was unreal. It was like stepping back in a time warp - everything was original! Daniel had a vision of projecting the surf footage on one of the wooden feature walls in the house - look so cool.

"We loved hanging out in that beach shack for the day, pretending like it was our hows. Got the smoke machine pumping and had a fun time laughing all day."
