Music video
A music video was released for the song, and was the first to be directed by Kristin Barlowe. The video begins with the members of SHeDAISY riding through the countryside in a Volkswagen van. They pull over when they see a man sitting on the side of the road, and Kassidy gets out to greet him. The man gets in the van with them and they continue down the road, being joined by a group of bikers, who begin to follow them. Kristyn gets out of the van to greet one of the bikers, and gets on the back his bike and begins to flirt with the guy. The van and bikers pull over at an old broken down freak show. The two girls continue to flirt with their guys and also perform on a stage, surrounded by performers, before pulling away in their van.
