Music video

A bit like "All The Love In The World", but rather more extreme, this video lets the Corrs play with their roles. The basic concept of the video is that some ill-advised record company managers want the band to change their image. So they can be seen as some kind of girl group clone, in a KISS-like glam rock outfit and finally as some scary trash punks. All three concepts go horribly wrong, and the Corrs themselves are seen laughing at the results being played to them on the TV. Finally, the Corrs then do an acoustic run-through of the song as themselves, with all the crew members applauding them after they have finished. Jim takes this as his cue to leave the set, leaving Andrea forlorn.

The inspiration for the concept came from a conversation Andrea had with director Dani Jacobs about disguising the girls as "fat blokes", that is your stereotypical roadie. Though it never came to that, the idea of dressing up is still very much felt in the video.

During the shot, which took place in Sydney, Australia in September 2001, director Jacobs had two camera crews which filmed the Corrs during make-up and wardrobe rehearsals. Some but unfortunately not all of this material ended up in the video.

Says Jacobs: "The Corrs had the most fun I have ever seen them having on a video shoot."
