Perry further elaborated on these themes in an article by Paste about Trump-era protest music, stating his intent with Bigger Life on being "deeply critical of racist and authoritarian elements in the U.S., while also being empathetic to working-class frustration, given the reality that the working class is being economically pressured and manipulated simultaneously by an emboldened nationalist movement and their sources of propaganda".

The music video, shot at Genuine Fitness in Eugene, Oregon, depicts the band members clad in exaggerated 1970s fashion performing the song alongside a variety of male and female bodybuilders.

The music video portrays the Daddies performing the song in an industrial warehouse wearing a variety of costumes influenced by 1930s pulp magazine heroes such as Doc Savage, The Shadow and The Phantom, which Perry attributed to his admiration of "deliciously weird" bygone pop culture.
