Music video

The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was the first video that Creed had complete creative control over. Parts of the music video were filmed just off of Interstate 4's exit 48 for County Road 557 in Polk County, Florida. The rest of the video was filmed at Universal Studios Orlando Resort. The street outside the King Kong ride was filled with water for the video. The video was one of the videos which was part of MTV's Making The Video.
