Music video

The video was filmed in Chiswick and features group members Lisa and H looking after a penthouse apartment while the owner Bill (Dave Legeno) is away on business. They, and the other group members, then throw a party for all their friends, but struggle to tidy up before the owner returns. Lee Latchford-Evans rides a Honda CBR 600 FX/Y to the party.
