Music video

James Walsh walking among the people in the club during the video.

The video takes place in a nightclub. Walsh walks through the middle of a crowd of people with a stoic expression on his face which only changes when he is singing. While he's walking the people around him have varying attitudes: some seem to love him and others clearly dislike him. A man puts his hands on James and screams at his face, which contrasts with a Japanese girl who is so happy after watching him that it makes her cry. There are also some boys that clap him on the back to encourage him, a woman with a wedding dress and a transgender person who tries to kiss him.
