In the video, Timberlake is illustrated in the form of a blue frequency. Throughout this portion of the video, a woman and a heart are also seen in this form. Also, the first half of the "I Think She Knows Interlude" is cut out in the video. Then at the end, Timberlake is shown singing in a white background with electronic pulses traveling along the hills behind him. This part of the clip is to symbolize Justin Timberlake being "stoned".
