Burnley had previously announced the return of Jacob Bruun Larsen using the phrase "Guess who's back, back again?" from Eminem's song "Without Me", through a comic-style video.

And at the beginning of July, the arrival of Kyle Walker was teased with a video that was both kitschy and nostalgic, referencing the 1983 song "Hello" by using the phrase "Hello, is it me you're looking for?", transforming it into "Hello, is this the reveal you're looking for?".
