Music video

The music video, directed by Ray Kay, is shot in Venice Beach, California. Like their previous hit Incomplete, the music video featured the Boys, now without Kevin Richardson, both individually and together. In the beginning, Nick Carter is shown lying on the beach at dawn; Brian Littrell is in his house looking out; A.J. Mclean is on the street with his car, much like in Incomplete. Howie Dorough is shown sitting with his back against a wall near the beach.

At various intervals in between, when the chorus is sang, the four are seen together on the Venice Pier. After the leads are sung, the scenes shift between the Boys individually and together; at the end of the video, the sun breaks and they look above in wonder. The city wakes up and they walk towards the ocean together on the pier.

The video premiered on Yahoo music on Friday September 14, peaking at #4 on the Top 100 Videos on Yahoo! Canada and #23 on the Top 100 Videos on Yahoo.com. On YouTube they have reached over 10 million views for their new video [1].
