Music video

The music video for "I Do" begins by showing Gin playing a ukulele on rocks near the sea, standing under an archway reading "Holy Smoke", which is the name of the album the single is from. She sees movement in the water, and proceeds to step down the rocks toward the sea. The movement in the water is shown to have come from a merman. The merman is smoking a pipe, then drinks some tea. This is a reference to the 1999 Rugrats episode "I Do".
