Music video

The music video starts off in a solid black room with dancers. Then, Elliott is seen in a desert in sand, then slowly emerges in front of three other dancers. The next scene is in an old wooden house and in rows of dancers, dance by a car. They then end up on a road on the desert, where a line of dancers finish dancing. The song then switches over to another song, "On & On", where four dancers dance in sand. Tommy Lee makes a cameo in the second part of the video.

The video was directed by Dave Meyers.
