Music Video
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter Parts of the music video were filmed on location at Crandon Park Beach in Key Biscayne, Florida. The video stars with Lopez talking to her boyfriend on her cell phone. He tells her that he wouldn't be able to make it for their date, standing her up. He asks her if she received the bracelet that he bought for her, and she says she received it and it was beautiful, but she would rather him there with her instead, and hangs up the phone.
The camera switches to a view of Lopez coming out of her villa, then switches to a brief aerial shot of Miami before stepping into her convertible and storming off into the highway. The music then begins. She drives to a road near the beach, where she gets off and begins to walk to the beach and starts to strip; first she takes off her sunglasses, then her coat, and then her necklace. Then she removes a postcard from her pocket, that reads: "Wish you were here"; Lopez is shown on it with a couple of dancers on a beach (one of the dancers is her ex-husband, Cris Judd)
The camera then zooms in on the postcard, Lopez and the dancers performs a routine to the song's RJ Schoolyard Remix. Afterwards, the camera zooms out to its previous position before they started the routine. After which, the audio switches back to the original version and Lopez, after tearing the postcard up, throws it away. Then Lopez runs to the beach, stripping to her underwear, and at the end of the video takes her top off and covers her breasts with her hands. Throughout the video there are intercut scenes of Lopez in her golden underwear lying on the sand and on the water, and dancing near trees.
The video received two nominations at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Female Video and Best Dance Video. The song was also featured in Lopez's 2001 movie The Wedding Planner.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
