Music Video
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Marc Webb and was shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Duff said, "I'm a huge fan of, so I was really excited that he would direct my video." She added:
"The video moves really quickly and has all quick pops. It shows me in Tokyo, London, Paris, New York, and it goes through all these different looks, in each city, and it just shows that no matter where you are, people want the same things: they dance and they party. The looks kind of grainy and it's a totally different look for me."
It starts with Duff waking up on a couch, then sitting up to begin singing the song. Shortly after, the video cuts to a shot of her singing while sitting on a bench in her bedroom. After listening to music through headphones for a short while, she gets up, applies make-up, and puts on a black wig. She leaves her bedroom and rides around town in a car with several friends. She is then seen at various nightclubs in different cities. For the duration of the video, there are shots of her at different parties and clubs while she sings and clubgoers around her dance.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.”
—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)
