Music video

According to their YouTube page, a music video was shot on 28 September 2008. Also the day of Melody Thornton's birthday. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5RypLPxqQU] The video is based in the desert. Two sneek peaks of the video were leaked onto the internet in early October, and it shows Nicole Scherzinger singing in a road on desert and The Pussycat Dolls dancing in the rain. The full video premiered on October 10th, 2008 . [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDlm8ZtSo5g] The video starts out with Nicole playing the piano to the beat of the song, and images of a book and flowers blowing in the wind. When the acoustics begins, their is a shot of all the girls on the road with a broken down car. During the chorus the girls are seen walking away from the car on the road and dancing to the beat of the background. While Nicole is singing in the dessert alone, Jessica is shown trying to wave down a passing car with her bandanna. All the girls are than shown on top of many broken down cars during the bridge of the song. During the second chorus, the girls are seen in sync this time with dance moves on the sand. All the girls are than shown in different elements in the desert: Nicole in front of the broken down car with a wolf, Jessica in a parking lot on top of an arcade machine, Ashley walking in a parking lot with a pink stuffed elephant-doll, Melody with a flower, and Kimberly in a broken down pick-up truck. During the climax of the scene Nicole is singing during an incoming storm at night. The girls are than shown in the same scene as before while dancing in sync, but this time, it is raining and the girls are dancing while wet. The music videos ends with an eruption of emotions from all the girls were one clip is Ashley and Melody embracing in sadness. The video closes with Nicole still playing with the beat of the background on the piano and a butterfly on her hand, before ending with a shot of the rain-soaked girls united in an embrace.
