Music Video
The music video was directed by the team of Eric Williams and Randy Marshall, known as Fat Cats, and was shot in Los Angeles. It premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on March 24, 2005. It spent only four days on the countdown and did not climb higher than number eight. The concept deals with playing up the glamorous lifestyle of a celebrity while making a statement against the shallowness of materialism. The main message is that JoJo is "not the kinda girl" to lose herself in Hollywood. The video is known for having several cameos including Laurie Ann Gibson from MTV's Making the Band, Vincent Herbert, and Maynard James Keenan who plays the police officer. During the first half of the video JoJo is being driven in limousine through the Silver Lake neighborhood past such landmarks as the Figure 8 wall made famous by the Elliott Smith album cover photo. The second half is performance based and features JoJo getting her hair and makeup, and then dancing on a sound stage. This scene is contrasted in the end with JoJo walking away, wearing a hooded jacket, and listening to her iPod. Instead of a fancy ride she hitches a bus covered with an advertisement showing her album and the words "In Stores Now".

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!”
—Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
“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)
