Music video

Aired version: This version of the music video only shows Nami for 2 seconds. It instead focuses on many different women who sing along to the song, giving off the meaning and showing how a girl is affected by a boyfriend when he cheats on her. Many of the girls in the music video are crying or breaking down.

A music video is a short film that integrates a song with imagery, and is produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie-in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie-ins and merchandising can be used for toys or for food or other products. Although the origins of the music video date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they again came into prominence in the 1980s when the channel MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these kinds of videos were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip".

Crying shedding tears as a response to an emotional state in humans

Crying is the shedding of tears in response to an emotional state, pain or a physical irritation of the eye. Emotions that can lead to crying include anger, happiness, or sadness. The act of crying has been defined as "a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from the lacrimal apparatus, without any irritation of the ocular structures", instead, giving a relief which protects from conjunctivitis. A related medical term is lacrimation, which also refers to non-emotional shedding of tears. Various forms of crying are known as sobbing, weeping, wailing, whimpering, bawling, and blubbering.

Nami Version: Much like the previous version, this one shows more shots of Nami singing the song, as well as showing emotions similar to that of the other girls in the PV especially when it appears that she is on the verge of crying. This version of the PV will be released on the DVD with her album STEP.

Single versions

Unlike her previous singles, it comes in only a regular CD edition. Nami's face is hidden on the cover of the single, in order to show the fact that she is hiding her tears, as well as an attempt to market her as a fresh artist.
