Music video

The video premiered on Channel 4 in August 2006

The video begins with 2 scenes alternating between her doing various poses against a glass window and her standing by a bed, showing the camera zooming out to show a man. Halfway through the video, Jamelia is having what seems to be a tea party on a grass and one scene shows her in a thin walkway with white walls.
