Two music videos for "Get What You Want" where released in the UK and Australia.[3]

In the Australian music video it features all band members in a cartoon like picture singing and dancing as hands and skeletons chancing each other. The second music video was released in the UK, and was shot while the band was on tour. The music video film was lost and the band had to re-film the music video. [4] The video begins with member playing there instruments in a white room which taped black sheets on the wall and speaker on the side. Wilkinson begins singing through a megaphone and shows intercuts of the band members dancing at the background while Wilkinson sings in front of them. It also shows various scenes of each member playing separately, the band singing under an umbrella and on the floor.
