The single's music video, directed by Marc Webb, was filmed in Los Angeles, California over two days, August 31–September 1, 2005. It was the subject of an episode of the MTV show Making the Video that aired on September 12, with the completed video premiering at the end of the episode. Simpson appeared to premiere the video on Total Request Live on September 13, and it debuted on the TRL top ten countdown on September 14 at #9, rising to number #3 the next day, and reaching #1 on September 20. It spent a total of three days at #1, and was on the countdown for 32 days, with its last day being November 7.
The video starts off with a car chase as Simpson is pursued by the police. Eventually she evades them and reaches a junkyard, where she and her band perform the song before a crowd of young people. At the end of the video Simpson jumps into the arms of Efren Ramirez, and he carries her away.
The music video won the award for Best Pop Video at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards in April 2006.
