Talk About Our Love

]

The concept of the video was influenced by Brandy's personal experiences at that period, picking up the idea of nosy friends and neighbours, who keep on popping in and out of her house to find out about her affairs.cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1486786&pid=1625694|title=(Photo 1) "Making the Video": Brandy and Kanye West 'Talk About Our Love'|publisher=MTV|accessdate=2008-04-27] Opening with an additional musical intro, the first scene in the video begins with Brandy confronting West, who's standing behind the kitchen's table, when other people switch constantly in and out the room and watch what's happening. The camera follows West's fleeing steps through the floor, incessantly backspacing on Brandy, who runs after him. The scene shifts into the living-room, where it changes into a dance sequence with two male dancers, before Brandy leaves the room to take stairs into the bedroom. West follows and sings to her next on the bed, when once again pop strangers in the room and Brandy and Kanye decide to escape out of the house. The video ends with both singers sitting in an oldtimer and driving down the street.

The video premiered on May 2, 2004 at the end of its "Making the Video" episode on MTV. It debuted on the network's "Total Request Live" on May 10 and on Canada's MuchMusic in the week ending May 16. It reached number three on the "TRL" top ten video countdown on May 21, its seventh day on the countdown; and was retired from the show after spending thirteen days on the countdown.cite web|url=http://www.atrl.net/trlarchive/?s=recap&y=2004&m=05|title=The TRL Archive - May 2007|publisher=ATRL|accessdate=2008-01-01] Temporarily, the "Talk About Our Love" video was the most-played clip on BET, reaching number two on the network's video countdown "106 & Park".cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_/ai_n8555402|title=Brandy Stimulates Top of Charts as "Afrodisiac" Debuts at #3|publisher=Market Wire|accessdate=2008-04-26] "PopMatters" ranked the video among the best music videos of 2004.
