[edit] Video

The video was directed by Sophie Muller, who directed the video for her last single Just a Little Girl. In it Amy is walking to school, and she gets tripped up and pushed around when she gets in. She flees to the bathroom, and then imagines herself performing. Then she is shown in a dormitory with her in a nightdress. All the girls are crowding around her, and she doesn't seem to like it so she climbs on top of a cupboard. She is then shown dancing with some other girls. She carries on dancing until some people in suits drive up to the school, see her and start shooting pictures with her, and the other girls are seen to be crying. At the end she is seen back on top of the cupboard smiling.
