Music video
editThe video, filmed at Clarence Pier in Portsmouth, starts off with the group having a little fun on a beach, once the song begins they come to a locked up amusement park they shake the gates that keep the park closed, however the lock has the "S Club" Emblem on it, is opened and the group then open the gates and enter the park itself. During the video the group are dancing in the middle of bumper cars, shots of them roaming around the park and going on the rides themselves such as the carousel and the roller-coaster. By the end of the video the night draws in, after the group's day in the amusements ends they head their way back out of the amusement park all light up in the night as they close off the gates placing the lock back into place as the camera zooms into the "S Club" Lock.
