"Say You Don't Want It" is a song by English indie pop band One Night Only, released as the first and only single from their second album. It had its first play on Greg James's Radio 1 show on 25 June 2010.
The music video, filmed in New York City and directed by James Lees, [2] first aired on Channel 4 on 26 June 2010. It features actress Emma Watson. [3] George Craig originally became friends with Watson after they both featured in a Burberry modelling campaign. [4] The music video was filmed over two days. It depicts the band performing in Brooklyn with the Manhattan skyline in the background, intercut with a subplot in which George Craiq leaves the group to pursue Emma Watson through the streets of New York. In the final scene, moments before Craiq and Watson kiss, a woman exits a car, approaches two dogs, and takes one away. This act symbolizes that Craiq and Watson were metaphorically portrayed as dogs, clarifying earlier scenes such as Craiq being chased from a store or licking Watson after receiving a thrown pretzel from the Gray's Papaya hot dog stand. [5] According to Emma Watson the video is an Ode to Lady and the Tramp. [6]
