Music video
A music video for the single was released which follows the experiences of a teenaged girl at a party; as the story unfolds, the camera frequently cuts away to show the band (Stars) playing the song itself. In the narrative portion of the video, a teenaged girl reluctantly enters a house where a party is underway after being encouraged to do so by an older woman, presumably her mother. As she enters the house, she is confronted by other teenaged party-goers who laugh at her and make derisive gestures and facial expressions. Making her way to the back of the house, the girl pauses at a mirror, and as she looks at herself in it, a gleam of light suddenly emerges from within her coat. Startled, she turns to leave, but she is seized by a group of girls who apparently intend to bully her. They pull her into the living room, and as the girl struggles to free herself, her coat falls open revealing a "galaxy" of stars turning on her chest which in turn projects a larger galaxy on the ceiling of the room. Amazed, the bullies stand looking up at the rotating galaxy of stars on the ceiling.
