Music video

The music video was directed by Phil Griffin and runs on a total length of 3 minutes and 40 seconds. It stars Mark Owen turning on a camera in a white room, later on showing a lot more versions of Mark Owen joining in, switching places with Mark sitting on a chair and sing. One version of Mark Owen would paint on the wall with the words "What am I to say? What am I to do?" (the first two verses of the chorus), while another would sing on the telephone. The woman in the red dress appears in the video and is played by British choreographer and model Keeley Malone. [3]
