Music video

"Everything I Wanted" features a music video directed by Steve Shaw and was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1997. The video, filmed in black and white on a 16mm camera, features Minogue driving through Las Vegas in a convertible, dancing in her hotel room and swimming in a pool. Minogue and her then boyfriend Shaw came up with the idea for the video in mid-1997 and travelled alone in the United States, without a production crew, so they could capture Minogue in spontaneous and real-life moments. Shaw decided to use a 16mm handheld camera to film the video as it gave the music video a texture that the majority of the other pop videos did not have.

A personal favourite of Minogue's, the video for "Everything I Wanted" was included on the Australian video collection The Videos in 1998 and the special edition of her greatest hits CD/DVD release The Hits & Beyond in 2006.
