The music video for "Tear in My Heart" was directed by Marc Klasfeld and filmed in Chinatown, Los Angeles.[6][28] Alongside both band members, lead singer Tyler Joseph's wife Jenna Black, whom he married the previous month, also appears in the music video.[29] Tyler and Jenna practiced a fight scene together for the "Tear in My Heart" video.[6] Klasfeld gave the couple a thirty-second video clip of choreography for the fight scene and had them re-enact it. In an Alternative Press interview, Jenna recalled, "It was really late at night when we got it. I'm sure the people around our hotel were like, 'What are they doing in there?'"[6] During the actual shoot, Tyler told Jenna not to worry and just go for it. She imparted, "The very first time I had to fake-throw him, he just took it. There were definitely moments where I could feel that I hit him so hard. He definitely got bruised that day."[6] In contrast to the wintry music video for their lead single "Fairly Local," the video for "Tear in My Heart" is colorful, being set in a Chinatown.[28] It depicts Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun performing in Chinatown in the town square.[28] The video also stars Tyler's wife Jenna Joseph, who had served as the inspiration behind the song.[4] She appears throughout the music video beating up her husband until he bleeds
The song is about vocalist Tyler Joseph's wife, Jenna Black, and how he let her in to his emotional side, which brought about a tear in his heart. This was produced by Ricky "Wallpaper" Reed, whose other collaborations include Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" and "Wiggle." Twenty One Pilots went for a team approach on Blurryface with an assortment of producers helming different tracks. "The songs we wrote were so different from each other," Joseph told Billboard magazine, "so Josh (Dun, drums) and I did our research on these producers and what their strengths are, what they bring to the table. And we even dated a few more." "Once we had the list of songs we wanted on the record we could tell which songs would work best with which producer," he continued. "All these guys added something to the record, and we were very intentional about what songs they were going to produce. It really kind of kept everyone on their toes, but it was a perfect marriage with all these guys, so I'm happy we went about it the way we did and we're really happy about how it turned out." The video was directed by Marc Klasfeld. We see Joseph get beaten up by a woman, who is played by Jenna Black.
