Music video
edit
The music video was uploaded to YouTube by All Around the World on 8 February 2011.[2] The video begins with large text saying: "N-DUBZ" in capital letters, a change from their traditional logo. Inside it, we see a silhouette of the group and the rest of the screen fades to the shot, the silhouettes then fade into the full appearance of the group. The group sing in front of a plain backdrop, occasionally in front of special effects. Throughout the video, shots of space and shooting stars are seen, as well as a female dancer.
