Head Store in Nishi-shinjuku, Tokyo.

The music video for the single was directed by Anthony Rose. It took two days to shoot and was filmed in Tokyo, Japan, on 2 October 2006 and 3 October 2006. The music video depicts Fraser walking through late night Tokyo in the rain, backed by scenery of neon-lit buildings. She appears in such places as the Nishi-shinjuku business district, Shibuya Center-gai shopping area. One following scene shows Fraser on the Tokyo metropolitan train system. All the while as she does this, she holds a transparent umbrella and lip-synchs to her song. The final scenes show her return to her hotel building, climb the elevator and stand upon the roof.
