Towards the end of December 2017 the Jamiroquai subreddit and Facebook fan group discussed a different video for Cloud 9 that was found on the website of music video direct Jason Smith. He had previously directed the videos for Corner of the Earth and Love Foolosophy. Much discussion took place online and then it was suggested that the video might work better for Nights Out In The Jungle. One fan decided to put the NOITJ audio over the video and upload it to YouTube (video now removed) - and it looked and sounded great.
Fast forward a few and all of a sudden the video from the directors website is updated to remove the 'Cloud 9' video (it has since returned - still with the Cloud 9 audio behind it) and then Jamiroquai announce on 5 January 2018 their 'secret new video' for Nights Out In The Jungle on twitter. The video was made available to watch on YouTube and via the official site.
Looking back through previous interviews over the past year back in April 2017 Jay talked about a video for NOITJ on BBC Radio...
"...there is a video for that. It's me sitting in... which was going to be for Cloud 9, but uncannily you put this track to it and it's basically me just going around town, in the back of a car, in black leather, in the back of an old '76 Rolls Royce."
