Music video

edit

The music video was directed by Marcus Raboy. The video features two sets of scenes: one in which the band sings in a desert hangar with a giant movie screen showing various scenes behind them, including a desert, a city with heavy traffic, a cloudy sky, lightning, and a sun break. The other scenes feature the band walking in the desert as a group and driving in two convertible cars. One with AJ McLean as the driver and Nick Carter as the passenger. The other one with Brian Littrell as the driver, Howie Dorough as the passenger, and Kevin Richardson in the backseat.
