The music video is directed by Marc Webb and premiered on Yahoo! Music on August 21, 2008. Candace Bailey stars in the video along with Adam Levine. The video is shot in Santa Monica, California in January 2008. In Brazil, the video premiered on October 18, 2008, on Top TVZ as the Bonus Track and received regular play.[2] The video was made available to download digitally via iTunes.[3]

The storyline is based on a "before and after" story which leads Levine and Bailey to a beautiful love story.

Synopsis

The video begins where Levine walks into a store and sees Bailey at work. The pair meet for the first time, taking an interest in each other and Levine and Bailey then leave the shop together. The next scene shows Levine and Bailey beginning to date as they talk in his car one night. After which, the pair are shown lying in bed, sharing an intimate moment. Intercut with the scenes are Levine and the Maroon 5 band mates performing the song in various locations.

The following day, Bailey receives an unexpected phone call from the workplace, telling her she has to leave immediately. Bailey tells Levine the news and he is in disbelief. As Bailey tries to explain her sudden departure, Levine rebuffs the matter and she walks away. After the argument, Levine walks outside and sees Bailey standing at the end of the pier, armed with her belongings and with tears in her eyes. Levine goes to talk to her but with Bailey leaving so soon, there is no time to patch things up.

A remorseful Levine is shown reminiscing over the moments that happened when he and Bailey were together. The next scenes show Levine running around the beach with his pet dog and thinking things over as his band mates surf along the waves. The last scenes show Bailey in the workplace when she sees Levine standing outside and she smiles. Levine then goes into the store to talk to her and the pair reconcile as the song fades out.
