Music videoThe song's music video, directed by Jeth Weinrich, mirrors the song's lyrics by featuring a woman fleeing from an abusive relationship. Interspersed throughout the video are clips of Amanda Marshall performing the song. Marshall chose for the video to focus on the woman instead of the man, wanting to create a candid storyline for the female protagonist. Wayne Isaak of VH1 gave the video a positive review, calling the subject matter "empowering".
