Music video
In the music video , Jennifer Lopez gets into a limousine and drives to the highway . Lopez undresses in the limousine while driving. She takes a break on the beach , walks and strips. First she throws away her sunglasses , then her sweater and then her bra. Then she takes a postcard out of her trouser pocket that says: "Wish you were here"; Lopez is now surrounded by dancers (one of the dancers is Lopez's ex-husband, Cris Judd). Then the camera zooms in on the postcard. Lopez then tears up the postcard and throws it away. She gets rid of other symbols of luxury, including undressing on the beach.
At the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards , the video was nominated in two categories: Best Female Video and Best Dance Video .
