Music Video
The music video is set in a luxury apartment and on the rooftop of the apartment during the night. A young couple argue with each other in their apartment with each Saint appearing beside them at various points throughout - completely invisible to the couple. The video cuts between the couple arguing and the girls singing on the rooftop of the apartment, with the city skyline visible in the background. The video uses a special effect very similar to the Bullet Time effect used in The Matrix . The overally mood of the video created by the setting, lighting and colour reflect the mood and lyrics of the song itself to a very high degree. Unlike previous videos from All Saints, none of the girls appear together during this video because they weren't speaking to each other at the time. It was directed by Johan Renck.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“A man in all the world’s new fashion planted,
That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
One who the music of his own vain tongue
Doth ravish like enchanting harmony.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
