The music video for "Thank You Baby!" was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at First Light Film Studio by director Paul Boyd. It was originally released in Europe on July 28, 2003. The video is set in an art gallery, with three four-sided TVs stacked on top of each in the middle of the room. Twain is singing on the TVs (her head on the top screen, her torso in the middle and legs on the bottom), while the people in the gallery start noticing her and crowd around the TVs to watch. Also, paintings of an orchestra come to life to play along in the song. The video is available on select CD singles.
