A music video was produced for "Caramel" that begins with the original version and transitions into the Trackmasters remix version. It begins with a shot of Ryan Toby and Robbie Pardlo on a computer that shows the words "Dream Girl 2001". It then cuts to a shot of Claudette Ortiz singing the first verse,and then the trio is dancing at a party as Ortiz sings. The video continues switching from Ortiz singing on a couch,the trio at the party,and Ortiz boxing Zab Judah. As the third verse,the first not sung by Ortiz,begins,it features the guys in a car. The video switches to Eve on a motorcycle and starting her rap. The video ends with Toby and Pardlo still in front of the computer,watching the video.
