Kassidy have also announced a UK tour, which will take place throughout March 2012. A Scottish tour is soon to be announced.
The video for I Can't Fly is an animation of a man falling through a seemingly never ending backdrop, which constantly changes colour from red, to white, to black. Lyrics to the chorus also appear in the video as the man falls past them. The video is reminiscent of the opening sequence to popular period drama Mad Men.
