[edit] Music Video

The music video premiered on TRL December 7, 2006. The video shows clips of JoJo sitting in a room filled with old records, sitting on a staircase, and singing on a rooftop at sunset. There are also sings of her in an apartment in a green dress. Special effects allow JoJo to be seen multiple times in the same shot. There is also a storyline involving a young couple on a date. Near the end of the video, a guy meets JoJo in her room with the albums.


[edit] Reviews

  • Billboard:

"OK, things are getting serious now. JoJo's youthful debut top 40 hit, "Leave (Get Out)," was a fruitful fluke, but her formidable 2006 follow-up, the No. 3 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Too Little Too Late" demonstrated that there is more to the pretty teen than "TRL" preening. Second album "The High Road" does a fine job casting JoJo as a soulful singer who takes her job more seriously than many of today's gimmicky chart sirens. "How to Touch a Girl" again casts the youngster with a crafty melody, albeit strikingly similar in structure to the previous hit. Despite the bizarre, almost perverse title, this track could propel the burgeoning talent all the way. Considering much of her competition at pop radio, we'll take JoJo's corner in a second." —Chuck Taylor
