The video was directed by Big TV, [2] and received heavy rotation on MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel.

The first version features Return to Halloweentown clips and the second version aired without the movie clips. The first version was heavily played on the channel in 2006, as it was the theme song of Return To Halloweentown, and it promoted both the movie and the song on Radio Disney, making stay on its Top 30 countdown throughout 2006.
