The music video for the song sees Francis perform as other characters over the track. The video begins with Matthew Wright and Michael Jackson driving through the woods at night, before their car breaks down. Jackson then turns into a variety of animals, and then John Leslie gives chase to Wright before Craig David and the other characters start performing the song.
