[edit] Music Video

In the single's video, Duff's character plays a prank on her ex-boyfriend to tell him that they're broken up and that she is over him. After stealing his clothing on the beach, she spends several days anonymously sneaking pictures into his mailbox -- each depicting a random stranger wearing his t-shirt. His confusion turns to dismay when he receives the final package containing his shirt and a picture of Duff wearing a shirt that says, "you're so yesterday."

The video was filmed primarily in and around Venice Beach and Marina del Rey, California. It was directed by Chris Applebaum and was featured on MTV's Making The Video on July 26, 2003. It later debuted on Total Request Live at number 9 but reached the top spot after 27 days on the countdown. The video retired on October 8, 2003 at number 2. The video also received airplay on MuchMusic. [1]
