Music video
The music video, directed by Meiert Avis, primarily features Gray performing the song with her band, which features will.i.am on the piano. Towards the end of the song, Cole enters the video ad-libbing and singing joyfully with Gray.
The video is similar to that for Prince's 1984 "When Doves Cry". Gray recreates the scenes with the bathtub and singing with the band. Cole comes down the spiral staircases in the same way Prince did in the "When Doves Cry" video.
