Music Video
Official version
The official music video was directed by Paul Boyd. It featured the five Boys gathered around some monuments and an old building which resembles a church.
The video is notable for its frequent used of the contre-jour technique, which puts the subject directly against the source of light, thus giving a clear, dark outline of the figure. In the video, the Boys are often seen as dark figures dancing and singing against a beautiful background.
Wet version
A "wet version" was made for the single before it was finally discarded in favour of the music video which eventually became the official version. It is similar in style to the music video of their previous single Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart), featuring the Boys walking in heavy rain.
