[edit] Music video
[edit] UK Version
The UK/Australian music video directed by Rich Lee features the band playing in front of their I Wanna Rock Tour stage setup while a couple is kissing inside their car. The video was picked up by the U.S. iTunes Store.
[edit] US Version
A while after "I Wanna" was released in the United States, another video was made, directed by Paul Hunter. The video premiered on October 13, 2009 on AOL. It was much more complex than the previous "I Wanna" video. The video features the band hosting a large party. In the video Tyson sees a girl (indicated to be his ex) with another guy. LG phones show various videos and transitions. One phone shows Tyson breaking up with the girl viewed earlier. Many teenagers trash the house and have drinking contests, many of these things in which the band is included. Drummer Chris Gaylor is seen with two girls in the front yard nude while Tyson and Nick laugh. The last scene shows the band performing in front of all the teenagers. The girl is in the crowd watching Tyson. Tyson and the girl are carried into the crowd and are shown reaching out to each other. Then they are viewed kissing on the front steps of the house, while the other guy has lost the girl and is being drawn on, passed out in a bathtub.
