Music videos
There were three music videos made for this song.
- The first video released in December 2008, takes place in a building. It also has an alternate instrumental, having more of a rock-influenced sound than the original.[2]
- The second (official) music video consists of a more military-theme. It starts with Ryan and three other men crooning and deals with Leslie shipping out to sea. While he is on stage performing, a man played by Tyson Beckford tries to steal his girlfriend. Which leads to a fight between the two at the end of the video. This version was released to BET's 106 & Park on January 16, 2009,[3] and later ranked at #64 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.

gollark: That's not an extra dimension.
gollark: Oh, yes, I should do something about that.
gollark: Have you tried buying more glucose?
gollark: Hmm. Well. I wouldn't be very happy with that mind editing *either*, and that wouldn't make me not bored if approximately-me were put in a box/walked round a bit/whatever without somewhat intellectually engaging activities.
gollark: If I took your mindstate and swapped out stuff like "likes helping people" and "likes some type of art" for "enjoys murdering people for fun" and "regularly abducts and tortures people" would that be "you"?
