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:
“A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.”
—Ian Anderson (b. 1947)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
