The music video for "Never Felt Like This Before" is set in a nightclub setting with Lewis performing and with episodes of her love affairs intermixed with the performance. In the video for "Never Felt Like This Before", Lewis felt uncomfortable performing intimate moments with the male in the video because she felt she would be cheating on her partner, Christian Storm. They originally planned to have Lewis's partner in the video, but he was unavailable at the time, so they had to find a look-alike.
