Music video

The video features lead singer Martina Sorbara as some sort of golem created by a group of children. Once brought to life, the children dance with and customize their creation in a suburban home. The video concludes with the children's parents attempting to destroy Sorbara unsuccessfully. The fourth wall is frequently broken during the duration of the video by integrating behind the scenes turmoil into the main story.
