Music video

From October 16, 2005 to October 17, 2005, t. A.T.u. shot their video in the Los Angeles suburbs, directed by James Cox and produced by Billy Parks. The video was released on November 8, 2005.

The video was shot at Bronson Caves (where the original "Batman TV series" was filmed) in Hollywood by 1171 Production Group. The group previously worked on such t.A.T.u videos as "All About Us" and "Lyudi Invalidy" and has experience in making videos for Eminem and Celine Dion. Bronson Caves are famous for being the set location of Western movies and Batman series. The video was retired on Poland's TRL after spending 50 days on the countdown. The video did have more airplay in the U.S. than "All About Us" but it was still not played much.

In the video, Lena and Yulia, both immaculately dressed in black, drive to the caves in a Chevrolet Chevelle. Julia snaps her fingers and music begins to play as the girls perform in front of a mosh pit for a crowd of fans, who all dance and move to the song. Towards the middle, Yulia heads off stage, by the crowd and to a piano, where she begins to play. When she is done, she and Lena return to singing the rest of song.

A "Making Of" video for this music video was released on the DVD of "The Best".

The song "Friend or Foe" was also featured on MTV's 3rd season of Laguna Beach.
