[2] The Kayla Flett and Roy Kellaway directed music video was released on 7 December 2020.

In a statement, Kellaway said "This clip tells a story of the Stingray man travelling around the Territory.

'"[3] Kate Hennessy from The Guardian said "The song has a colloquial swagger and a sense Yirrnga is greeting anyone who'll listen – and even better: those who won't – with his confident shouts of 'hey!'

… It feels young and irrepressible but is also a trojan horse for the aural intensity that this line of Yunupiŋu men convey with their penetrating manikay (traditional song), which propels 'Hey Wanhaka' into a powerful outro.

Adding "It's a blend of rough-around-the-edges surf-rock rich with that distinct Australian charm mixed together with the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture, something that makes itself the centrepiece both through its historic melodies and its bilingual properties, switching between English and Yolŋu Matha.
