Music video

[edit]

The music video for the song switches between footage from live Hoobastank shows during their 2004 tour (supporting the release of The Reason), and footage of them performing the song at the Utah State Fairgrounds, in Salt Lake City during a local radio station's music festival. The video was directed by Marc Webb and produced by Hagai Shaham.[2] It is the last music video to feature bassist Markku Lappalainen as he left the band after Hoobastank's 2005 Summer Tour.[citation needed]
