Music video

The music video for the song is set on a Beach in South Africa. The girls are doing activities such as sunbathing and paddling in the sea. The group then venture the coastline after jumping into a car, which Jenny Frost is driving; admiring the scenery and singing along to the song. During the bridge section of the song, the group attend a party in a bar at the beach, dancing with several people in the evening. During this, it occasionally switches to the group dancing on a pier, during the tranquil sunset. The video then ends with the girls sitting around a campfire, in the dead of night, with the party still in mid-conflict. Throughout the process of the video, the girls are constantly staring at different men in the bar at night. The video is famous for the girl's wearing bikinis and other sexy clothing, the feel good vibes and the stylish, modernness of the video. Also, If you look carefully, you can see a bump on Natasha Hamilton's stomach, showing that she is in her early stages of pregnancy. In a Behind The Scenes featurette for GMTV, Jenny claims that Natasha is 5-months pregnant at the time of filming. The Kittens also claim that the backstory to the video is that they have all split up with their boyfriends and decide to take a spontaneous holiday.
