Music video
The music video was directed by Martin Husler and Martin Linss and was shot in Malibu, California. The concept of the video is that as Jamie is driving along, she notices the struggles people are enduring including that of a man and his daughter, a struggling musician and a young Japanese woman who is portrayed by model Sachi Suzuki. As she notices the struggles, she picks up each person and continues driving along. Throughout the video, Jamie is shown singing and walking along a beach.
