[edit] Music video
The music video for the song was directed by Matthew Rolston who had previously worked with the band on the "Hole in the Head" video.
The video for "In the Middle" sees Keisha in a glittery diamond like two-piece, Mutya in a black number and Heidi in a black and pink complementing suit. In their own verse, they each have their personalised, matching rooms. By the end of each verse, their name is spelled out on screen. Mutya's is misty, Keisha's is in diamonds and Heidi's in boxed letters. Through out the video they are all in one shot singing in a circle.
