The accompanying music video was filmed at Boyle Ranch Chatsworth, Lovell House, and Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles, California, in June 1999 and was directed by British director Nigel Dick. [80] [81] The visual was aired on August 6, 1999, on MTV's Total Request Live . [82]

Inspired by the American fantasy drama film What Dreams May Come (1998), [81] the video depicts Martin as the ghost of a deceased man returning to the mortal world and visiting his still-living lover, portrayed by Puerto Rican actress Charlotte Ayanna. The man is seen romping on a beach, gliding through the forest, and singing the song on a cliff, while his lover feels his presence and occasionally encounters his spirit as she reminisces memories of her together with him, the latter of which are shown through intersped flashbacks. [23] [52] [83] The music video for the song's Spanish version is technically the same, except Martin mouths the Spanish lyrics. [83]

Valdez from Latin Times ranked his rendition as the sixth best performance by a Latin artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, saying: "At the beginning we thought it was going to be a mystic performance, slow and focused on the vocals, but eventually it became a party and you definitely gotta see some of Ricky's best moves on full display during that performance."
