Music video

The film clip starts off with Jade pinning up a poster in the record store she is working at. When a guy walks into the store that she tries to get his attention but fails. The next scene is her riding her electric scooter, followed by clips of her in her bedroom wearing lingerie. The next scene is her attending a dance class, where the man from the record store also dances. The location switches from the dance lesson to her bedroom. Later, she leans against a tree in the forest while the same man is on the other side of the tree. The man is oblivious to her presence in all locations.

Jade is all dressed up and sitting in a fancy living room when the man appears and goes about his business; cooking and taking a shower, all the while not noticing she is there. In the final seconds of the video he looks directly at her, but it is revealed she is a reflection in a glass window as she walks away.
