[edit] Music video

The music video for "Where Are We Runnin'?" was directed by Philip Andelman. Kravitz tries to perform a common rock musician life, in the video. It starts with Kravitz waking up with some girls around, in a hotel room. After he gets up, he takes a limousine which takes him to the airport. Inside the private jet, Kravitz, his band and the girls are shown having fun. Kravitz and the band arrive, and then they are shot doing a stage performance of the song. The video ends up with Kravitz in a exhaust mood, in front of a mirror, in the dressing room.

[edit] Trivia

• In the music video, while Kravitz is in the elevator, his song, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over", it's being played as the ambient music for the elevator.
