Music videos

The music video takes place at a party which has an intense fight, which gradually works backwards to where everyone is having fun just before the fight begins, the wounds working in reverse as well. An alternate music video directed by Daniel Zanardi, filmed at Cintra's ranch in Bragança Paulista. It shows CSS playing the song and having fun and a cardboard box "dancing", then the box eats up all the band.
