In the accompanying film clip, Brian McFadden is seen to be chasing after Delta Goodrem through an airport after she forgets her handbag. There are two alternate endings to the film clip: the 'happy' ending where Brian and Delta are reunited in the taxi as it drives away from the airport, and the 'sad' ending where Brian is by himself after the taxi leaves with Delta inside. The 'sad' ending was released to music television shows while the 'happy' ending was available on the CD single.
