The music video for "Don't Give It Up" was directed by Sophie Muller, and was shot in various different towns including Marrakech, Essaouira, El Jadida and also in mountains. The video became available to music channels in late February.
Popjustice - website reviewed the song saying: "Siobhan has instead embraced pretty dresses and superior songs. Very wise. Even allowing for the video's more distracting moments - writhing around in said pretty dresses - this is a Massive Attack-style piece of complete brilliance."
