The video was produced as an animated feature. In it, a girl dreams of becoming a star in the singing and eventually succeeds tanks to her perseverance.
About this song, Goldman explained in an interview : "I think that the song is the most similar as what I did before. Finally, it is almost a caricature. I like the text".[1]
