[edit] Music video

The music video was rarely seen, and wasn't featured on any release. It features Carter and her boyfriend throughout the video in an animated scene with bright colors. It was directed by Gregory Dark.

According to Stylus Magazine, the video shoot was a disaster and states that Leslie never wanted to record her debut album. Stylus Magazine also states that the video cost $350,000 to make.[1]
