Music video

The video takes place in two scenes, a beach party at night and a pier during daytime, the Ventura Pier in Ventura, California. The music video starts off with Hough on a boat with radio, remembering past memories. The video then goes back to a couple of days before when Hough was at a nighttime beach party, standing beside the truck from where her lover was dancing from, and dancing to the song on the radio. The video then goes to pier, showing Hough walking down the pier with a portable radio, watching the events that go on in the pier, including palm reading and a man breakdancing. The video regularly goes through both scenes throughout the course of the video. It then ends with Hough finding her lover at the end of the day beside the beach with the same truck. The two then kiss and soon after, the music video ends.
