"Shoulda Woulda Coulda" is a song by English singer Beverley Knight, released as the second single from her third studio album, Who I Am (2002). Written about the breakup of her long-term relationship because she decided to put her career first,[citation needed] the song became Knight's first top-10 single in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and topping the UK R&B Singles Chart.

Music video

[edit]

The song's music video was shot in the Hout Bay area of Cape Town, South Africa, and directed by Douglas Avery. The location for the video was of special significance to Knight. She had visited previously in connection with her charity work in bringing awareness to HIV in South Africa. It was also the location of the video to her single "No Man's Land", released in 2007.
