Music video

Instead of filming two separate music videos for the double A-side single, one music video was filmed combining both songs. The video opens with "Roll On", starting with a group of men playing basketball in a court. Mis-Teeq members Alesha Dixon, Su-Elise Nash and Sabrina Washington arrive in a lowrider and watch the men play basketball, and occasionally join in. Then it changes to dusk and cuts to the single "This Is How We Do It". The music video was filmed in various parts of Los Angeles, California in the US.
