On "
Life in Cartoon Motion " fifty seconds after the song ends, a hidden track, "Over My Shoulder" starts. It is a solemn song about being left alone, cold and drunk. This also appeared on the CD single of "Grace Kelly".Music Video
The music video starts when a piano starts playing on his own, then the camera shows Mika on the bed. He sings by he has a pink balloon on his arm, when he is going above it reveals Mika with a red suit. Then his room walls are shown full of pictures that move their mouth for singing. Then he passes in the middle of white balloons, that show he felt all the time different. The video ends by Mika singing and shapes done by hands moving their hands to sing. He smiles as the screen goes black.
