Music video

There are 2 music videos for this song. The first official music video was shot in Iceland and features Tarja and some scenes of a diver going to the bottom of the sea. While he sees a siren, he comes back to the surface. As such, it is filmed on the same beach and cliffs as the I Feel Immortal music video, and also features Tarja wearing the same black and white outfits. Even though it was filmed after I Feel Immortal, the "Until My Last Breath" music video was released earlier. The second music video of the song is a reference to Michael Jackson's death and the marketing and publishing on it. It starts with Tarja playing in a pub, with only a few people watching, showing how her career has fallen down. Then it is shown on TV that Tarja was found dead. After this, her album starts to be a success and she turns into a popstar again. It shows how a death can be good to a career, in the last of the ways.
