Music Video
On October 10, 2008, the music video for "Bust Your Windows" premiered on BET's 106 & Park.
It features scenes of adultery involving Jazmine's boyfriend in the video mimicking the song and song lyrics. The video, however, does not feature Jazmine physically busting out car windows, as fans expected but instead the intense emotion of the song is displayed through Jazmine breaking wine glasses on a table; there is also a trail of glass leading up to the bedroom where she discovered what would bring out this feeling of rage within her.
The setting of the video is dark and features harsh coloured gases passing through the air whilst Jazmine is singing – adding the sense of anger and depression that the video is meant to bring out in the song. Other scenes feature her boyfriend's guilty conscience of what he's done – namely when he hesitantly looks himself in the mirror.
The video has received over 6,042,391 views on Jazmine's YouTube channel, alone, making it her most viewed video on her channel so far.
The video was also placed at #46 on BET's "Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2008" countdown.
